Eddie Cheung Siu Fai is working on director Danny Pang Fat directed new film in Chengdu. Earlier he worked straight for 14 hours, aside from all the action and gun fight scenes he also spent a long time in the rain. After the director yelled cut, he was shivering from the cold. The crew immediately brought heavy blankets and hot beverage for him to try to warm up with.

Cheung Siu Fai said, "This finale took 12 days to shoot. That day was the wrap. The scene had rain, car crash, gun fight scenes, it took all day! I was soaked through when I worked on the gun fight scene. The reaction bullets hurt, with the cold as soon as I rested I was shaking all over." After the shoot, the crew applauded his professionalism. The director even presented flowers to thank him.

Cheung Siu Fai has been very serious at work each time. He admitted that he rather enjoyed the production process. "This time the film was really greatly made. Director Pang Fat directly said that his spark is all back! So although it was tough to make, I had quite a sense of fulfillment. I haven't made such an intense, exciting film in a very long time, or played a character with such potential." He stated that film was a very tough business, and hoped that viewers would buy tickets to support it.
