    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The hotel which Porky has breakfast with Sylvia is actually based in Singapore, not Hong Kong. This can be confirmed by the ending credits that there were possibly scenes shot and based in Singapore.
    • Goofs
      When Porky catches up with Ah-Long at the circuit he practices his racing at, Ah-Long was given a Yamaha TZR 250 by Dragon. The next day, Ah-Long competes at the Macau superbike race in a Suzuki GSX-R750.

      No explanation is given why Ah-Long changed to a powerful motorcycle (requiring an advanced degree of skill to ride) in such a short notice or how he managed to bypass the practice and qualifying sessions and straight into the front row within that 24 hour period in a powerful motorcycle he do not appear to have ridden throughout the film. In reality, as there are other races supporting the event, he would have to have gone through practice and qualifying which would have occurred before the race. Nor can be explained is how can smaller bikes, such as the Suzuki RGV250, be able to qualify at the front row with powerful superbikes (over 750cc such as the Honda VFR750R).

    A must-see for CYF fans!
    To see why CYF is a great actor instead of simply an action star. Good script, scores and acting performance of all major characters!

    It is one of Johnny To's earlier blockbuster movies. Also recommended to Johnny To's fans.
