From Beijing With Love - Salutation To Other Films

Salutation To Other Films

• The name of the film in Chinese means "the domestically-produced 007".
• The scene where Stephen Chow drinks a dry martini is a reference to a scene from Chungking Express, where Tony Leung Chiu Wai drinks coffee.
• The scene where Stephen Chow meets Anita Yuen wearing a green blouse in the park feeding dogs is a direct reference to a scene in the film C'est la vie, mon chéri, also featuring Anita Yuen.
• The name of the "ultimate weapon" invented by Da Wen Xi, 要你命3000 (Lifetaker 3000), is also the name of a Hong Kong, low-budget blue movie.
• The scene where the camera pans slowly around a room of various James Bond posters to focus on Stephen Chow combing his hair and admiring himself in the mirror is a parody of the last scene of Days of Being Wild, in which Tony Leung prepares to go out. The music used is the same.
• The Universe Laser DVD cover (pictured on right) of the movie parodies that of the 1987 James Bond movie The Living Daylights.
• The Golden Gun's signature weapon is a spoof of the golden gun used in the James Bond novel, The Man with the Golden Gun. Unlike the one from the James Bond series, this one shoots out extremely powerful explosive bullets instead of a one-hit fatal fragmentation bullet.
