Goofs
The Hong Kong-Paris flight is said to land in Paris at 5:30AM local time. It takes-off during daylight, but with an approximate flight time of 13 1/2 hours and the time zone difference, the plane should have left Hong Kong at around 10:00PM local time (when it would have been dark).

German theatrical versions omitted a few shorter scenes of graphic violence to get a "Not under 12 years" rating. The VHS based on that version also misses these scenes, which include:- Yvon, father of Bao, gets hit by the knife thrown by the member of the triads; Bao screaming; another short scene where the knife in Yvon's back is shown.
- The traitor who sold the passports to Yvon & Bao gets his neck broken by the triads hit man.
- The Chinese friend of Yvon is shot by the triads hit man after being thrown through the front window of the car at the harbor.
- The director of the bank of shanghai is strangled by the triads hit man in front of smiling Mr. Mo.

Okay, the plot is a little stupid, but the movie managed to make me laugh during the whole time. The guardian angels are so funny it is unbelievable. Gérard Depardieu and Christian Clavier are simply wonderful. I recommend it if you want to laugh. Only downside is that the action scenes are a little useless, I think.
