Trivia
The song "Ice Floe 9" by Pierre Arvay, from the De Wolfe Music library, is used in the film's opening credits. The same piece was also used for the opening credits of Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), and also appeared in the extended version of Dawn of the Dead (1978).

Goofs
Around 37m, when Hsu Yin-Fung fights Sing Chu, playing the "cartwheel" sequence in slow motion (or pausing the film at the right moment) will reveal that the hole in the ground supposedly created by Chu's punch was there before his fist hit the ground.

You'll love this!!!

His character is arrogant but likeable. This is Jackie Chan at his early best. From the opening credits you know that there is something very special about him... and the film! The Kung-Fu is superb and at the odd occasion very funny. This is a must see for all Jackie Chan fans.
