Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sammo Hung performed his own stunts throughout, including the infamous pedicab pile-up that hospitalized two extras.
Shot during Macau's final years as Portuguese territory, the film captures a working-class cityscape now erased by casino development. The pedicab itself was already vanishing.
