    • Trivia
      The main stars of the film, all big name talents in Asia already at the time of filming, were rumored to have appeared in this film because a Hong Kong triad boss forced them to be, at gun point. This rumor has persisted for many years, and has not been addressed directly in public by any of the leads.
    • Goofs
      Jackie Chan's hair was so long that they would have shaved him before he was admitted to jail in Hong Kong, this is to prevent lice.
    • Crazy credits
      An outtake reel in shown during the end credits.
    • Alternate versions
      Taiwanese video is 35 minutes longer than Hong Kong version and features more character development of the Taiwanese actors and bit players.
    • Connections
      Featured in Cinema of Vengeance (1994)

    ... aka Cool Hand Luke (1967)

    This is the Chinese version of 'Cool Hand Luke'. I didn't like the Paul Newman version but after seeing this, I've got to give Paul Newman a lot more credit.

    I watch it because I'm a huge Jackie Chan fan. See it if you must, but watch the original first (Cool Hand Luke - 1967). The American version is much more entertaining.
