Anecdotes

Last to Surrender is a 1998 Canadian action-adventure film written, produced and directed by David Mitchell and starring Roddy Piper, Ong Soo Han, Andy Yim and Angela Ying-Ying Tong. Piper and Han portray an American cop and his Chinese counterpart, who must reluctantly unite to track down a violent drug lord to the Golden Triangle of Asia.

Production

The project was originally known as Yin and Yank, hence the name of the legal entity used for it, Yin Yank Productions. Canada's Applecreek Communications, the company of executive producer Andy Emilio, made the film in cooperation with their frequent partners, multinational distributor Imperial Entertainment. The other executive producer was American expatriate Gary L. Hayes, a pioneer of the Indonesian production service industry.

An Indonesian source mentions the film being worked on in August 1996. Canadian records indicate that photography took place in November and December 1996. Toronto substituted for the storyline location of Seattle. Indonesia stood in for Burma. Filming took place in the capital of Jakarta, as well as in the cities of Sukabumi and Palabuhanratu, both on the island of Java.

The Indonesian shoot was a troubled one. Three trucks carrying film equipment were implicated in a serious road accident. The filming of the harbor scene was interrupted by political riots. A set representing a military camp was destroyed by a flood. A plane capturing aerial footage also crashed into the jungle. The pilot's fate has been the subject of some confusion, as he has alternately been reported as deceased or just injured.
