    • Trivia
      Ludi Lin is the only reoccurring actor on the show who regularly practices martial arts outside of his work.
    • Goofs
      There is a stock footage sequence every week, that shows the streetscape outside the "Harmony Dumpling Restaurant" in Chinatown. There a fake San Francisco cable car in that sequence. You also hear the brassy, insistent ding of a cable car bell, being rung twice. The fake cable car is clearly a two axle motorized vehicle running on four pneumatic rubber tires. The roadway is also missing the required steel tracks as used by a real San Francisco cable car.

      San Francisco cable cars have a complicated undercarriage, and the car rides on a pair of four-wheel trucks with flanged iron wheels (no pneumatic rubber tires), designed for the cable car narrow gauge track of 3 ft 6 in (1.067 mm).

    For a young audience

    After watching the pilot, I must say I had higher hopes. This is aimed at a young audience, more pre-teen than young adult, but for that genre, it's a decent watch. I had hoped it would be a contemporary spin on the original series, but, then again, I was a young teen when I was a fan of it, so maybe it is the same audience. The plot is simplistic, the fights are engaging, it will appeal to young Asian viewers, and, despite the dumbing down of some of the dialogue, I'm going to give it a passing grade. I give this series a 6 (fair) out of 10. {Action Adventure}
