Trivia:

Mark Aldred, who played the Russian crime boss (uncredited) was fired from his job as an English teacher in a Hong Kong primary school because the principal had discovered his role in this film. After a lengthy hearing, an industrial tribunal awarded Aldred HK$11,600 as a contract gratuity. However, it threw out his claim for around $79,000 in damages and dismissed Aldred's claims that his sacking was unlawful.

Goofs:

Continuity: Charlene and Jack are kissing by the water and Charlene is pulling her shirt up. You can clearly see that she is wearing a bra (also later you can see her bra through the wet shirt). But when she finally does take the shirt all off, she isn't wearing a bra anymore.

Movie Connections:

Version of Chik loh go yeung (1992)

This is one wild dramatic action adventure you will not forget !

Using a combination of Hong Kong style fighting and simple emotionally charged drama, Chek Law Dak Gung (Naked Weapon) is a riveting film.

It characters are extremely likable and are presented to us in a three dimensional through the great directing and wonderful portrayals of the actors especially Maggie Q, Daniel Wu, and Anya. Its pacing and emotional power allow for a film that should be a blue print for many action films that would be better if they took a note from this cinematic work of art.

If you want to find a film that will give your strong believable acting, awesome action scenes, romance, and a great human story this film is all of that and much more.

LOOK FOR IT, IT IS Truly WORTH IT !
