    • Trivia
      Quentin Tarantino referred to Peking Opera Blues as one of the greatest films ever made in an interview for the Rolling Thunder Video Collection.
    • Goofs
      About 25 minutes in, when Tso-Wan (Brigitte Lin) cranks the Rolls Royce to start it, the sound track has the sound of a starter motor cranking an engine.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK film was cut on its original release by 10 seconds to remove the sight of a man rubbing salt and sand into a woman's back wounds. It was passed uncut in 2005.

    Tsui Hark's best action-comedy. One of best HK films ever.
    A strange, unique, but very accessable mix of hard action and outrageous comedy. Bigitte Lin is disguised as a man as usual. Great rooftop kungfu and shooting action. This is one of the best Hong Kong films ever made. Another difference from standard HK fare is that the three heroes are all women.
