Short description
Liu Jian, an elite Chinese police officer, comes to Paris to arrest a Chinese drug lord. When Jian is betrayed by a French officer and framed for murder, he must go into hiding and find new allies.
What's left behind the scenes
- Computer technology was used only twice in the film: in the scene where Jet Li's character falls down a laundry chute surrounded by flames, and in the scene where he kicks a billiard ball.
- Director Chris Nahon had to slow down the fight scene between Jet Li and Cyril Raffaelli because the actors were moving too quickly.
- The tunnel where Jet Li's character is overtaken by the French police is the same one in which Princess Diana (1961-1997) died.
- The fight scenes in the film had to be adjusted to suit the tastes of viewers, who had voiced many criticisms of Jet Li after the US release of Andrzej Bartkowiak's action movie 'Romeo Must Die' (2000). The actor's fans wanted to see more realistic fights, similar to what they had enjoyed in the film 'Fist of Legend' (Gordon Chan, 1994).
- In one scene, Jet Li’s character attacks the pimp Lupo, played by Max Ryan. It was assumed that the dialogue between the actors would be filmed separately, and the fight separately, but after the exchange of lines, the director, for some reason, didn’t say “Cut,” and Li delivered a punch. That take made it into the final version of the film, along with Ryan’s completely genuine surprise.
