Box Office Bomb: Budget, $20 million (not counting marketing costs), $25 million (counting them). Box office, $11.1 million.
Divorced Installment: The film was going to be a sequel to The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.
Enforced Method Acting: In the wedding Scene where Lo Pan is putting the Needle of Love in Miao Yin, James Hong actually jabbed Suzee Pai too hard. You can see her flinch as he puts it in her.
Executive Meddling: The first scene was added later at the insistence of Studio Executives who just didn't get the Supporting Protagonist story line. This may explain why it doesn't really fit with the way the movie ends.
Mid-Development Genre Shift: The film was originally a western, with Jack Burton as a cowboy aiming to retrieve his horse.
