* TroubledProduction: Sony didn't quite understand Stephen Chow's usual habit of going into shooting with [[WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants barely having a script]] and made him go through four full drafts before shooting. Once shooting started Creator/SammoHung was the fight choreographer but he eventually quit amid clashes with Stephen Chow, tough working conditions and creative differences. Shooting apparently went much smoother after Creator/YuenWooPing replaced Hung, though.
