What's left behind the scenes

In the film's credits, Jackie Chan is listed as “Jacky Chan.” This is the last film in which he used this pseudonym.
The film is often advertised as starring Jackie Chan. Although his character participates in the final battle and defeats the main villain, Jackie's role is more of a cameo; he appears in only a few scenes.
