Did You Know?
| Trivia | The shooting took place around the Changbai Mountains in China, near the North Korean border, and lasted 38 days. Some scenes were filmed in freezing temperatures, reaching -18°C (i.e. 0°F). Because it is illegal to film the actual border and sex scenes are forbidden in Chinese movies, Anthony Chen had to creatively work around these issues. See more » |
