What's left behind the scenes

Xander Berkeley plays a character named Nathan Van Cliff – this is a tribute to Western actor Lee Van Cleef.
The DVD contains many deleted scenes, some of which play a significant role in the film's plot. They are collected in a separate section on the DVD, and these are the scenes: Chon Wang travels in the lead locomotive in the wrong direction and collides with a locomotive packed with explosives. A meeting between Fong and Van Cleef immediately after the train robbery, which would have been much cleaner if they had worked together. A scene with Roy when his gang (now led by Vallais) buries him in the sand. This would have made his sudden discovery buried more understandable. A number of scenes involving individual characters were completely cut. For example, "Bulldog Drummond," played by Curtis Armstrong, was completely cut from the film. Drummond is a fine actor and a second-rate merchant who tries to use three Chinese guards as an attraction. However, when he interrupts the guards' lunch, they beat him and take his carriage. Later, Drummond is robbed by Vallais' gang (Roy's former gang), and to save his life, he tells them where to find a lot of gold and a man from Shanghai. The appearance of the carriage at the end of the film does not have the desired impact without these deleted scenes. Another version of how Chon Wang finds the labor camp: he comes across it through three young Chinese boys walking in the forest. A scene where Roy watches Chon Wang's wife bathing in the river, with corresponding dialogue. A scene at the end of the film where Chon and Roy distribute gold to the prisoners, and Roy considers taking some for himself. The three guards open a restaurant, and Roy wonders if Chinese food will catch on in America.
The scene with the horseshoe was practically impossible to film, as the prop horseshoe turned out to be too light. However, Jackie Chan categorically refused to throw a real horseshoe at anyone, deeming it too dangerous.
Filming took place from May 25 to August 20, 1999.
