- While shooting the famous hot air balloon jump, Jackie Chan actually skydived out of a plane and landed on top of the balloon, instead of jumping off a cliff as is seen in the movie. For the shot of him jumping off the cliff the crew had to rig him up to a wire because Jackie was not experienced in BASE jumping.
- During filming, one scene called for him to jump from a wall to a tree branch. On his second jump, the branch broke and he fell 15 feet to the ground below. His head hit a rock, cracking his skull and shooting a piece of bone up into his brain. Chan was flown to the hospital and was in surgery 8 hours later. As a result, he now has a permanent hole in his head, filled by a plastic plug, and slight hearing loss in one ear.
- This film was shot mostly in former Yugoslavia: in Zagreb (Dolac Central Market, Upper town, Trnje (near the then-unfinished building of Croatian Radio Television), Croatia, Predjama Castle near Postojna, Slovenia and also in Graz, Austria.
