The literal translation of the title of this movie is: Death, the Last Card.
The original script was loosely based on the experience of Chinese paramount leader Xiao-Ping Deng's 1979 visit to USA. The Nationalists were trying to assassinate him by hiring local Chinese gangsters, while the Maoist USA commie, Communist Party of USA (Revolution), also tried to assassinate him because he started reform in China, denouncing the Cultural Revolution launched by Mao, beloved by the radical Maoists.
However, back then in China, there was strict foreign exchange control and there was not much foreign exchange to have anyway, so due to lack of money, the movie cannot be afforded to be filmed in USA, so the entire plot is changed to the reverse: USA special envoy to China and faced assassination attempts, and Chinese law enforcement tries to spoil the plan. However, the reversal is done very poorly and lacks any convincing power such as why the USA diplomats were targeted.
