Frank Dux sued Jean-Claude Van Damme over the writing credits of the movie, claiming that Van Damme and he wrote the story under the title "The Kumite: Enter the New Dragon" in 1991. Van Damme denied this, claiming the two projects were unrelated. Dux won his story credit via a ruling of the Writer's Guild of America, but lost the actual court case.
Sir Roger Moore wrote in his autobiography that he greatly disliked Jean-Claude Van Damme and producer Moshe Diamant, even jokingly nicknaming the lead star, "Jean Claude Venereal Disease" when away from set. Despite this, according to interviews with film crew-members, Moore never voiced his disgust with Van Damme in public and behaved gentlemanly throughout the shoot.
When the production was running out of money, many of the crew were asked to work for free to keep filming on schedule. The producers promptly found the money for the filming, when said crew laughed at them, and threatened to strike.
Producer Moshe Diamant was hoping to get Sir Roger Moore back to work on another of his productions, but Moore declined, after having a difficult time working on this movie.
Jack McGee broke wind after each take. This drew the ire of Jean-Claude Van Damme, who wasn't amused, but the rest of the cast and crew, especially Sir Roger Moore, found it hilarious.
