[edit] Character Naming and References
In Cantonese, the name "Mo" (武) is homonymic to the term "no/nothing/never" (無), therefore, Mo Jup Shu (武則書) is phonetically similar to the term "無執輸", which means "Will not lose" or "will not be at a disadvantage". Meanwhile, Mo Dut Go (武德高)is phonetically similar to "無得高", which means "will never grow tall".
Paul Chun's character, Kum Dai Tse (金大枝) somewhat resembles the transliterated name of the former President of South Korea, Kim Dae-jung.
Mo Dut Go's purported English name, Charles (as revealed to Diana), is a reference to Charles, Prince of Wales, while Diana's name is a reference to Diana, Princess of Wales.
