Anyone Can Die | |

Anyone Can Die: The entire cast consists of both popular and rising stars of Hong Kong at the time the film was made, and at least 11 of them failed to outlive the credits. | |

Body Double | |
| Bodyguards and Assassins / int_4977d7b8 | comment |
Body Double: For most of the battle, the bodyguards aren't actually bodyguarding Dr. Sun, they're bodyguarding Dr. Sun's rickshaw as it goes around Hong Kong fulfilling his official errands in town while the doctor is secretly meeting with a council of revolutionary leaders to lay out the plans for the first stage of the revolution. The person actually in the rickshaw is Li Chongguang, who is killed by Yan at the end of the chase as a direct result. | |
