Trivia

Van Damme performed both roles with no digital face replacement—just old-school split-screen and a body double for over-the-shoulder shots.

Cultural

This was Ringo Lam's final American film before returning to Hong Kong; critics noted it kept his visual style but lost his emotional complexity in translation.
