TIL it was Alex Cox (Repo Man) who came up with the idea.

The FSB are the good guys! Rashist money bought a lot of foreign B-listers, but not much of a movie.

Mark Dacascos at least enjoys himself hamming it up as an "evil Jean-Claude Van Johnson", a fading martial arts star who has become a hitman with a penchant for terrible disguises & accents. I'd pay to see him in "Shaolin Cop"!

Kelly Hu gorgeous & confident, but we never got a fight with her & Mark.

Alexander Nevsky shows all the charisma of a block of wood.

Tom Arnold, Eric Roberts, Danny Trejo, Bai Ling, Matthias Hues & Billy Baldwin showed up to collect their cheques. Actually, I don't think Billy even showed up, just did it remotely.
