Trivia:

Michael Jai White takes over the role of George Chambers from Ving Rhames in this film. White had previously played Mike Tyson, in the TV film Tyson (1995), the real life person the character of Chambers is based on.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: Stevie is seen injecting drugs after George and Yuri's training sequence. Letting alone the fact that his arm has unbelievably good veins for someone who has been shooting for years, and the fact he appears to inject retrogradely into muscle rather than vein there is in addition a revealing prop: he pushes the needle about 3cm into his arm and then pulls it away revealing that the needle is now 3cm shorter. In a prop like this the needle pushes into the syringe giving the illusion that it goes into the body. Normally the needle is spring-loaded so that it pushes back out, but this did not occur with this prop.

Quotes:

Crot:[teaching George a leg-lock technique] Put leg on top of shoulder, lock with head. And now press on top of knee.
George Chambers:[George applies pressure]
Crot:Press George.
George Chambers:[George increases pressure]
Crot:Harder!
George Chambers:If I press any harder, its gonna break!
Crot:Good, maybe I start to feel the leg again.

Great action sequences!

I attended the premiere at Paramount Studios and have to say I was impressed by the breathtaking fight scenes. They were filmed at a very high speed, so there was a hyper-real crispness to them and interesting time changes throughout. Things were slowed down and sped up to catch Michael Jai White's amazing choreography.

Michael Jai had a hand in much of the production and his attention to detail in these scenes in particular shows. Scott Adkins is also an incredibly adept martial arts performer and comes off as an appropriately menacing villain. Michael Jai plays George Chambers with all the hubris and latent anger you could want, but also with an undertone of humor not present in Ving Rhames' portrayal of the character.

The last reviewer made a good point about this film having an 80's action feel to it. There's a no-nonsense brutality to the fighting that you don't often see these days. This is no Jackie Chan hit-em-with-a-broomstick fest. Think Rocky meets UFC. A definite adrenaline-pumper!
