What's left behind the scenes

  • Filming the main fight scene cost 70 million yuan (which was over $10 million USD in 2012).
  • The film was partially based on Akira Toriyama’s series “Dragon Ball.” Toriyama himself noted Jackie Chan as someone who greatly influenced his work.
  • From April 18 to May 2, 2012, some scenes were filmed in the Aerodium (a vertical wind tunnel) in Jelgava, Latvia.
  • A four-minute stunt scene was filmed on Mount Yasur (a volcano on Tanna Island in Vanuatu).
  • Jackie Chan set a Guinness World Record in the film for “The most credits in a film.” Chan held 15 key positions involved in the film’s production, including director, producer, actor, fight choreographer, and composer, thus breaking the previous record of 11 credits held by Robert Rodriguez.
  • At the end of the scene where Jackie Chan gets rid of the dogs and parachutes out of the labyrinth, two dogs run towards him from the front, while two others appear from nowhere behind him.
  • In the fight scene with the guards at the counterfeit factory, Jackie Chan throws rectangular boxes stacked on top of each other. The boxes fall in a fan-like manner, pinning each guard’s leg. The last box falls on Jackie’s foot, but misses and lands next to his foot. The next scene shows Jackie writhing in pain, with the box having pressed on his foot.
  • At the counterfeit factory, Jackie Chan catches a beer from a man in a hat, and in the footage, his grip on the bottle changes, sometimes around the top, sometimes around the middle, and sometimes around the bottom.
  • During the final airborne struggle on parachutes, one of the parachutists takes Jackie Chan’s helmet off, and in subsequent shots, the helmet disappears, then reappears.
  • In the labyrinth scene, where Jackie Chan is holding a dog by the muzzle, they first show a nursing dog with clearly visible teats, but in the next shot, the dog lying on the ground is a male dog.
  • In the scene on the ship during the battle with pirates, a gun is knocked out of one of the pirates’ hands, and he pulls out another, holding it by the lower part of the grip (his finger far from the trigger), pretending to shoot. In the next frame, his hand is positioned correctly with his finger on the trigger.
  • Jackie Chan set a Guinness World Record on a film, receiving it for "The Most Credits in a Film." Chan worked in 15 key positions involved in the film's creation, including: director, producer, actor, fight choreographer, and composer, thereby breaking the previous record of 11 credits held by Robert Rodriguez.
  • In the fight scene with security guards at a counterfeit factory, Jackie Chan throws rectangular boxes stacked on top of each other. The boxes fall in a fan-like pattern, pinning each guard's foot. The last box falls on Jackie's foot, but misses and lands next to his foot. The next scene shows Jackie writhing in pain, with a box pressing on his foot.
