This is the first main protagonist role for Robin Shou before his first American film Debut in ''Film/ForbiddenNights'' as Liang, alongside Co-Star Creator/MelissaGilbert as Judith, and his Hollywood Silver Screen debut in ''Film/MortalKombat1995'' as Liu Kang. This also predates his four main villain roles as Wai Loong in ''Film/FatalTermination'', Waise Chow in ''Film/TigerCage2'', Paul in ''Film/InTheLineOfDutyForbiddenArsenal'', and Yip Foon in ''Film/TheMostWanted''.

* SexyDiscretionShot: [[spoiler: Linda receives a supposed strength powder from Bikin to give to Si Han. Before getting the powder, she has to pay him back. This is the shot Bikin chooses for the payment. It gets him in trouble with Kent later on though, as he was suppose to be finding out Si Han's weaknesses, not "pork his sister" as Kent puts it.]]

* DiesWideShut: Many of the fighters in the beginning of the film die like this. [[spoiler: Tang Chuan, Bikin and Mr. Kent die like this as well.]]
* EasilyForgiven: Linda, hands down, gets away with drugging Si Han before his rematch against the Mongolian fighter. She should have been kicked to the curb for the crap she pulled. Instead, her father and Si Han forgive her even though she betrayed them and dogged them for Bikin, Kent's star pupil.

** Because Kent failed to see the drawback of the Wai Chai gym closing down, his Sports Betting Events is now in danger of folding. Because he bets millions on his fixed matches to enrich himself, the audience doesn't know how much he's going to owe for the failed venture. Either he will lose his fancy house and his cars or he'll be trapped in debt for years on end.
