Curiosidades

Flash Point is a 2007 Hong Kong action film directed by Wilson Yip and written by Szeto Kam-Yuen and Nicholl Tang. It stars Donnie Yen, Shan Dong-bing, Nansun Shi and Zhang Zhao, alongside Louis Koo, Collin Chou, Lui Leung-wai, Fan Bingbing and Xing Yu. Yen plays Ma Jun, a police sergeant who plants his partner Wilson as a mole in a pursuit against a triad led by three Vietnamese brothers.

Production

Flash Point marks the third feature film collaboration of director Wilson Yip and actor Donnie Yen after 2005's SPL: Sha Po Lang and 2006's Dragon Tiger Gate. Yen also served as a fight choreographer, in addition to producing the film with Nansun Shi. The film was co-written by Szeto Kam-Yuen, who also co-wrote the script for SPL.

While Dragon Tiger Gate was in post-production, Donnie Yen had announced that plans for a sequel to SPL: Sha Po Lang had already begun, with Mandarin Films set to finance the film. Production was planned to begin in May or June 2006. Yen and his management company later clarified that the team behind SPL would be working together again on a new film, but due to copyright issues, they would not be making a sequel to the 2005 film.

Following the box office success of Dragon Tiger Gate, Yen had announced SPL 2's development, along with plans to make a sequel to Dragon Tiger Gate. SPL 2 was now given another tentative title, Battling the Police Force (强战型警), and Yen also announced that the film would be written in a style similar to SPL. Yen had hoped the film would take part in the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and scheduled for a Labour Day release in 2007.

The film was later retitled to Army Breaker (破军), which means destroying thousands of opponents in war. The film was given a budget of US$8 million and production was set to begin in Macau in September 2006.

The film was now given the working title City Without Mercy, and director Wilson Yip was forced to drop plans of shooting in Macau, due to the lack of extras needed for filming. Yip needed 250 extras for one scene, and decided to return to Hong Kong with his crew for filming. Filming in Hong Kong began on 13 November 2006, and the cast for the film had been finalised.
