What's left behind the scenes
- The American version of the film has a runtime of 88 minutes, while the Hong Kong version is 101 minutes long. Japanese and British versions also exist. The Japanese version is the most complete – 106 minutes – while the British version is based on the American one.
- The slums of the city were specially built for the film on a hill called Hammer Hill.
- In the American version of the film, the main character's name was changed from 'Kevin Chan' to 'Jackie Chan'.
- The film has an extended ending that can be seen in almost all versions except the American one.
- Due to the large number of stunt performers injured during filming, Jackie Chan created his own stunt team, personally funding all employee payments.
- The courtroom was built on the Golden Harvest studio lot.
- Jackie Chan decided to make this film after the massive box office failure of the thriller 'The Protector' (1985), in order to show Americans how to make movies.
- So much glass was broken during filming that the crew nicknamed the film 'Glass Story'.
- Jackie Chan himself performed the musical theme "A Hero's Tale" in the film's credits.
- Actress Brigitte Lin performed many of the stunts herself.
- The film won the 1986 Hong Kong Film Award for Best Action Choreography ("Stunt Team JC").
- Kin-san Lee dubbed Jackie Chan in some episodes.
- The scene in which criminals literally fly out of the bus window and fall to the ground was not originally planned. It was intended for the stunt performers to fall onto a car, but due to the buses being equipped with air brakes at the time, it rolled back slightly, creating a small space between the bus and the car where the stunt performers fell. Furthermore, Sylvester Stallone almost exactly replicated this scene in his film "Tango & Cash" (1990), shot for shot.
- The pole sliding stunt in the shopping mall was filmed in one take without prior rehearsals.
- Hong Kong auto-moto stuntman Blacky Ko doubled for Jackie Chan in a scene where Jackie's character had to ride a motorcycle through glass and knock someone down (in a shopping mall).
