Trivia
Jacky Cheung's character Frankie Lone was originally intended for 'Jackie Chan'. Before production began on High Risk, Chan was starring in Jing Wong's movie, Sing si lip yan (a.k.a. City Hunter). They didn't get along during the filming, and the experience of working with Jackie was so bad that Wong Jing chose to make the character of Frankie Lone a mockery of Chan. Jackie Chan was understandably offended and Jet Li personally apologized to Jackie for his involvement with the movie. See more »Goofs
Continuity: Frankie tricks the henchman searching for him and his dad by placing his sneaker just barely visible behind the wall and jumps the guy from behind after he shoots at the shoe - falling flat on his face. We then see Frankie doing pushups with both his shoes on again. See more »Quotes

Not one of the best Jet Li's movies, but still very entertaining
This film is a Honk Kong version of Die Hard. There is a lot of explosions, shootouts, incredible stunts and some martial art scenes. All the action looked very impressive, though there was too little martial art scenes. The first real fighting scene (which lasted more than few seconds) was in a second half of the movie. The fighting scenes were well choreographed, but there wasn't much of them. Most of the film was a shootouts and explosions which looked great, but when I'm watching Jet Li's film, I'm expecting to see a lot of well choreographed fighting scenes. Anyways the movie was still very entertaining. It's worth watching for action fans, but if you wanna see some really good Jet Li's fighting scenes, I suggest you to watch Fist of Legend instead of this one.
