Note: This movie has not been released outside of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The Weinstein Company and Lionsgate Pictures have had the rights to release the movie in the US and UK since before production was completed, but despite the involvement of John Woo and Michelle Yeoh have for some reason not to do anything with it.
