Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Michelle Yeoh's first lead role after dropping her Miss Malaysia crown—she trained 18 months to prove she wasn't just a pretty face.
The film satirizes British colonial presence through bumbling expat cops and efficient Chinese officers—a tension Rothrock's casting literalizes.
