흥미로운 사실
Shatter is a 1974 action film directed by Michael Carreras and Monte Hellman, starring Stuart Whitman, Ti Lung, Lily Li, Anton Diffring and Peter Cushing. It was the second and final international co-production between Hammer Film Productions of England and Shaw Brothers Studio of Hong Kong. It was distributed by Avco-Embassy.
Production
In May 1972, Michael Carreras returned to London from the Cannes Film Festival with a co-production deal that was made with the Canadian producer George Brown. Don Houghton provided Brown with a script for an action film originally titled Shoot. The film was originally set to start filming in Canada in August 1972 but was halted when Brown went bankrupt, leading to the project being shelved.
Shatter was filmed from 17 December 1973, through 15 January 1974 on location in Hong Kong, including Kai Tak Airport. Monte Hellman was signed on to direct but was fired during production less than two weeks into shooting, leaving Carreras to finish the film himself. Carreras complained "In my opinion, the action scenes lack excitement, the dialogue scenes are dull and Hong Kong looks like a slum.
A new score was added when the original Shaw Brothers score horrified music director Philip Martell who thought it "absolutely appalling".
