Continuity mistake: There is one point in the hospital scene where there's a close-up of the evil female nurse who shoots a quick glance behind her (towards us) and you can see that she looks nothing like she did moments earlier. In fact, she looks almost like a man.

Continuity mistake: When Jackie bashed several henchmen of Snakehead, there is no nurse in the room. Then, when he hides from Nicole, he makes a signal to Watson. Behind Watson, you can see a nurse come in and out of the screen on the right side.

Revealing mistake: When Watson is standing over Jackie's dead body and says "I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me most, my friend" you can see Jackie reflected in the TV standing ready for his queue before entering the picture. (00:41:55)

Trivia: Julian Sands, who plays the main villain in the film, was also the voice actor for Valmont in the cartoon series Jackie Chan Adventures until mid-2001. I guess Julian is destined to make trouble for Jackie's characters.
