    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Donnie Yen was offered the role of Chin Bo, but turned it down to pursue his solo career.
    • Goofs
      In the scene where Junbao and Siu Lin attack Governor Lu while he's on his way to Beijing, the wires they "flew" in on, and in the fight, are visible.
    • Quotes

      Junbao: Enough! Stop living in your past! What do you think you're doing here? Stop shoving me away! The past is what makes up who we are. Don't let it become your burden.

    • Alternate versions
      The U.S. version is essentially the same as the Hong Kong version, sans one scene where the monks in the Shaolin temple are all seen sleeping while standing on their heads.

    The Best!!!!!
    This film is really good. After seeing the end of this film on TV, I went to a video store and i brought this film. This film has a lot of action from the start of the film till the end. At the end Jet Li goes crazy!! But after that he starts training which is really impressive. And then gets ready for the best fight scene ever which was going on for like really long time. "Michelle Yeoh" is really good in this film to. Not that much action till the end but still good. If you really want to see a classic Jet Li film like "Once Upon A Time In China" and "The Legend" go see this film.
