You’d never know it, but Mira Sorvino speaks five – count 'em, five languages, including Mandarin Chinese. By contrast, Chow Yun-Fat’s native tongue is Cantonese, although he also speaks Mandarin to a lesser degree. This dynamic helped Sorvino translate English for Chow Yun-Fat, allowing him to adapt to the script at a time when he was just beginni...
At the time, Sorvino was dating Hollywood director extraordinaire Quentin Tarantino, and it was he who convinced her to take on the role of Meg Coburn. His reason? She had to work with an Asian action legend like Chow Yun-Fat. Tarantino’s admiration of the actor, and Asian cinema as a whole was passionate enough to convince Sorvino to agree. We owe...
Initially, John Lee and Meg Coburn were supposed to develop romantic feelings for one another, but early test screenings proved negative. This created friction between director Antoine Fuqua and the studio. To compensate, Columbia Pictures hired editor Richard Francis Bruce(The Rock, Se7en, Air Force One)to trim the film of the romantic subplot. Th...

In hindsight, this might actually have worked in the film’s favor by giving his character a more intimidating screen presence.

The character of Loco is one of the few comedic aspects of the film, and his portrayal by talented actor Clifton Collins Jr. is a highlight. Just a year prior, the actor starred as notorious gang-banger Cesar Sanchez in the Samuel L. Jackson thriller 187.Both characters share remarkable symmetry and personalities, but it’s Collins Jr.’s excellent a...
The infamous carwash shootout scene is one of the best sequences of the film, but the editor got a little careless during the final cut. John and Meg end up commandeering a car that ends up sprinkled with bullet holes from pursuing bad guys, but as they drive off, the bullet holes are no longer there. It’s just one of the many oversights that can h...
The theatrical cut of The Replacement Killers is a solid offering, but many fans might not be aware that an Extended Cutis also available. This cut sprinkles in a few more seconds of footage into quite a few scenes, culminating in almost 8 minutes of extra material. Some of this material might be unnecessary, but most of it helps to pad the scenes ...
Although his big Hollywood run didn’t last long, The Replacement Killers was successful enough to bring Chow Yun-Fat into the American mainstream scene. Two years after starring in the film, he would go on to achieve international acclaim for his role as Master Li Mu Bai in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but not before starring alongside Jodie Fos...
Some might think that Mira Sorvino’s actual voice is the same as her performance in The Replacement Killers. The truth is far more amusing. The actress had just come off the set of Mimic,and had stripped her voice during a screaming scene involving the film’s monster.

Action fans familiar with Chow Yun-Fat’s work (especially Hard Boiled) might be surprised to learn that the actor needed to re-acquaint himself with firearmsfor his role as John Lee. He had to undergo rigorous, standardized training in a firing range to become accustomed to the different guns he uses in the film. In addition, he had to practice hol...
