Trivia

Despite being featured heavily in the film's marketing, the conflict between Mike Tyson and Steven Seagal is just a small subplot that consists of just one short fight at the beginning of the movie (and during most of it Seagal is clearly replaced by his stuntman), and that is the only scene that the 2 of them share.

Goofs

When Yan Jian is hanging with his hands around a ledge on a ship, Kabbah tells him to "jump". However, it is physically impossible for Jian to jump since "jumping" means "pushing oneself off a surface and into air using one's legs", and here Jian's legs are hanging in air. It is possible that Kabbah meant to say "drop" or "let go", which mean something completely different.
