Trivia
According to actor Pierre Tremblay, Nigel Falgate, who played the lead gun runner Nigel, was not a professional actor, but an off-duty Hong Kong police officer who appeared in the film 'without official permission'. This is why his face is obscured throughout the film.

Alternate versions
Tsui Hark's original version was banned by Hong Kong censors. Several subplots had to be removed (in the original, the three teenagers plant self-built bombs in public places for the fun of it) and scenes were re-shot. The DVD-release by HK Video in France includes both the original and the modified version.

Don't try this at home !!!

I never believed in rebirth, but italian freak cinema of the 70ies lived on in a lot of Hong Kong flicks of the 80ies. If you like animals, human life or are a fan of political correctness you should NOT watch this movie. If you like explotation movies, italian cinema and have mental problems like me, GO FOR IT. It really has a good script, lot of twists, overall good acting and is very well made. What I really missed are car chases between Alfa Romeo's and BMW's, Tomas Milian, Henry Silva and a score from let's say Stelvio Cipriani, then it would be perfect, but you can't have it all. Hardcore entertainment par excellence (really).
