 Mark Aldred (qv), 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 Aldreds claims that his  sacking was unlawful.
