During night rehearsals on location in Macau, the actors were rehearsing an intense scene when suddenly a black car pulled over and secret police got out thinking that the actors were real people in a fight. After one detective recognized the lead actor, they let them continue.

The 12 page script went through 20 drafts before going into production.
The cast included one professional actor and 12 other people with little or no acting experience. The director, Maxim and his cinematographer, Jordan, created the necessary moods and set design with lighting and gritty locations to convey the themes of the story. This gave the non-actors, along with encouragement from Sam Leung, a veteran actor, confidence to perform their roles.
