Trivia
Both Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau did their own card manipulations.

Goofs
In the opening scene, Ko appears to play baccarat in a casino in San Francisco whilst other gambling machines are visible. Casino gambling is illegal in most parts of the United States including California. This caption, mentioning San Francisco at the start, is excluded in English language print.

Alternate versions
41 seconds of cuts were applied for UK cinema and VHS releases to remove shots of a butterfly knife being twirled and to shorten the sight of a man using one to threaten a woman. The DVD released in 2003 is uncut, as the BBFC waived all previous cuts in December 2002.

Awesome - One of the best movies ever made

All I can say is WOW! This movie has it all. There is action, comedy, drama, suspense. I have never seen a movie combine all elements as well as this one. I've seen about 10,000 movies in my life and this one rates in the top 5. It is that great! Chow Yun Fat is brilliant and certainly would have deserved an Oscar if this film had a proper US release. His comic genius is present in all aspects of his character. The supporting cast does a fine job, but he is the God of Actors and not just the God of Gamblers. The direction is superb as well. The timing, the camera angles and the music make this movie an absolute pleasure to watch. I just finished watching the DVD and will order the remainder of the series as soon as I'm finished typing here. WATCH THIS FILM!
