What's left behind the scenes
- The real Frank Dux was the fight coordinator for the film.
- Johnny Cage's split-legged punch from the video game series «Mortal Kombat» is based on a scene from this film.
- Filming began on October 15, 1986.
- Jean-Claude Van Damme and Bolo Yeung would fight each other again 4 years later in the film «Double Impact» (1991).
- Many episodes from the film (one sumo wrestler's victory, the execution of the sumo wrestler, the judges' reaction to the fighter's death) were later copied in the film «Quest» (1996), directed and written by Jean-Claude Van Damme.
- The coin trick that Frank showed (he managed to swap a dime for another in a person's hand before they could close their fingers) is a famous trick of Bruce Lee.
- Jean-Claude Van Damme really knocked Bernard Mariano unconscious with an elbow strike. That take made it into the film.
- One of the few films shot, in particular, directly in the walled city of Kowloon before its demolition in 1993-1994.
- Frank Dux served as the director and fight choreographer for the project. When Jean-Claude Van Damme was cast as the lead, Dux stated that the actor was not in good enough physical shape and put him on a three-month training program. Van Damme later recounted that this was the most difficult training period of his life.
- It is claimed that the film's script is based on real events, but the veracity of this claim is questionable. Many martial arts enthusiasts believe Frank Dux's stories about participating in underground tournaments are fabrications, as are his claims of being an undercover CIA operative. Some point to the fact that no one has ever confirmed his statements or offered their own version of these events. The prevailing opinion is that Dux used these tales solely to pave his way into Hollywood, and that he likely never participated in any martial arts tournament. It is known that Dux served in the reserve of the U.S. Marine Corps and never had any overseas assignments. The CIA denies that he was ever an operative. The martial art named after him, “Dux Ryu Ninjutsu,” is also a fabrication.
- According to Jean-Claude Van Damme, before filming this movie he made ends meet with odd jobs and had no money. To get the role in this film, he was ready to do anything: he trained 10 hours a day, changed his appearance to look more “American,” and got a “Hollywood” smile from a dentist.
- The split-legged fist strike of Johnny Cage, a character from the “Mortal Kombat” video game series, is based on a scene from this film.
