For the shot of him jumping off the cliff, the crew rigged him up to a wire as he had no experience of BASE jumping. While shooting the hot-air balloon jump, Chan skydived out of a plane and landed on top of the balloon instead of jumping off a cliff as is seen in the film. Footage of the accident is shown during the film's ending credits. Chan replaced Eric Tsang as director following the accident.
As a result, he now has a permanent hole in his head filled with a plastic plug and slight hearing loss in his right ear. Chan was flown to the hospital and was in surgery eight hours later. His head hit a rock, cracking his skull and forcing a piece of bone up into his brain. On his second attempt, the branch broke and he fell 5 metres to the ground below. The first take went as planned, but Chan insisted on re-shooting the scene. During filming of the opening sequence, one scene called for Jackie Chan to jump from a wall to a tree branch. Filming was also undertaken in Graz, Austria, France, Spain and Morocco.
