Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is NOT the Michael Bay asteroid movie—it's a Hong Kong cult oddity that somehow shares the title. The 5.5 rating is generous.
Gordon Chan was riding high after Beast Cops; this was his 'what if we did EVERY genre at once?' moment. The result is peak 90s Hong Kong excess.
