Trivia: As it has happened in at least two titles, the makers of the film sponsored a photo-manipulation contest in Worth 1000 (the well known photo-manipulation site), on which the participants were asked to create photo-realistic images of the world as if it were ruled by spies.

Goofs: Continuity: In the scene where Jackie Chan is talking with his girlfriend’s son, we see a bookcase behind Jackie. The books on the shelf keep changing from all vertical to about half of them lying horizontal.
