Interesting Facts:

The production team had successfully filmed nearly half of the film when lead actor Allen Keng was picked to play Ben Kingsley's stunt double in the Mike Myers film The Love Guru. The role required him to shave his head completely bald. Left with only a few weeks of Summer, and no other choice, the team was forced to re-shoot everything that had been shot.
