- 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.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“In the production of the necessaries of life Nature is ready enough to assist man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
