Trivia

Director Tan Bing actively sought out and created the role for Steven Seagal, after weaving viral video of Seagal's Akido skills at the Saratov Sambo tournament, which was filmed in Russia a few years earlier. Bing said "It was an honor to have an Akido master like Steven perform his art in this film."
