Early in the film when the characters are at the kickboxing exhibition, David is wearing a top which reads 'Benny The Jet's World Champion Karate'. Benny Urquidez was an undefeated Kickboxing champion over a career lasting almost thirty years and is considered one of the best ever alongside people such as Don Wilson. He has been in 2 Jackie Chan films which are Wheels On Meals and Dragons Forever, and he worked as a choreographer and fight coordinator in the second film in this series: 'The Road Back'.
Director Rick King had gone on to say that he did not get along with star Sasha Mitchell during filming. Mitchell was often aggressive throughout the shoot, frequently threw tantrums and even made death threats.
The man in the ring with David Sloane during his exhibition demo is Shuki Ron, the film's fight choreographer and Mitchell's martial arts trainer.
