Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) earlier almost had an accident during a car chase and escape by a hair. Everyone on the set were stunned. Later he and Louis Koo Tin Lok fought tens of meters above ground and almost fell off a cliff. He truly was lucky.

Daniel, Goo Jai and Lau Ching Wan reunited for the new film OVERHEARD 2 (SIT TING FUNG WON 2), during which Daniel became the "Hong Kong Shia LaBeouf" as he kept flexing his muscles and personally performed many dangerous stunts. Reportedly, the film company "tailor made" a motorcycle for him to perform tricks on. The "lighter" vehicle body weighed around 60 kilograms. Daniel had to coordinate with wind speed and trouble with balance. In the scene in which a truck chased him on a motorcycle, he almost lost his life!

This film absolutely could be said a "life risking film". Daniel was still shaken as he talked about it. "That day when we shot in the country. When we started it was considered smooth, but the cameras didn't get me in the shot. I wanted to stop the vehicle and make a U turn back to the main road, then I recognized that the truck was still in the shot and was still coming over at a high speed. Luckily the driver was smart and stopped the vehicle around a foot away from me, I didn't turn into a human sandwich. At the time I couldn't react in time and the entire team was stunned." Later Daniel blamed himself for being careless and scared everyone.

In another scene he and Goo Jai fought near a cliff. Finally Goo Jai's arm was the only support to keep from falling. Wearing gloves Daniel said that the feeling was rather "slippery". Luckily his co-star was agile and knew to use leverage to complete the shoot successfully.
