Later on, the Midnight Express owner eventually tells Cop #663 that May has come back and is working for him again after Faye leaves, and is also presumably single again.

Earlier, a girl named May (not Qiwu's ex, the Midnight Express employee) left her job at the bar with another guy and is replaced by Faye.

She plugs 2 guys going after her, each with two bullets, then reserves the last two for the drug dealer she has been working for. Six shots are fired by Brigitte Lin's character, who is using a revolver.

Big Eater: The first cop eats his way through 30 cans of pineapple to get over his ex, and then several plates of miscellaneous food, when Brigitte Lin is sleeping.Secondly, there are planes flying overhead Hong Kong's Kai Tak airport was open at around this time, and the flight path for any plane taking off or leaving this airport will not take it over Tsim Sha Tsui. Not to mention that we see Cop #663's girlfriend go up the escalator to go to work when she should be going down (the escalator was built to allow residents an easier way to get home from the business areas of Hong Kong). Firstly, Cop #663's apartment is established to be in the area as it is near the Midnight Express, but the Central Mid-Levels escalator is shown as next to the apartment, which is in the Central District, across Victoria Harbour. However, there are two inaccuracies of the setting. It is also the location of the Chungking Mansions, of which this movie is named after.

Artistic License В– Geography: The film's location establishes this as in Tsim Sha Tsui as evidenced by the black-and-yellow livery of the subway station that bears its name (where the Train Escape takes place).
