[edit] Trivia

Shaw Brothers veteran Ti Lung appears as Triad dai lo (Cantonese: "big brother," equivalent to a higher ranking gang boss) Conan Lee fights to prove his worth as a police officer.
Kung Fu film megastar Gordon Liu stars as one of the film's villains.
As is obvious in certain segments of the film's final chainsaw battle, star Conan Lee and villain Gordon Liu at times use real, operating chainsaws.
Star Chow Yun Fat's character in the film, unlike his suave and stylish A Better Tomorrow character, is at once buffoonish, cowardly and clumsy. He has claimed this was intentional, as he found himself becoming quickly typecast following A Better Tomorrow's phenomenal success.
The film's director, Lau Kar Leung (aka Liu Chia Liang), has a martial arts training lineage which dates directly to legendary Chinese folk hero Wong Fei Hung, popularized in the successful Once Upon a Time in China film series, which starred Jet Li (for the most part). Lau is also a veteran of many Shaw Brothers kung fu films from the 1970s.
