The sci-fi background of the movie was similar to the Matrix, all about the conflicts in the connection of different worlds. It was said Jet Li wanted to show his Buddhist thinking in the movie, which yet was not so obvious.
Well, it looked that there was some racial discrimination in the movie. Some critics said that Hollywood would not allow a colored guy (Jet Li) to star the main role and let him to beat white guys, thus Jet could have to beat himself except for Chinese and African Americans. Well, I think this could be understood as a marketing-led strategy. A Chinese-investing movie, too, may not allow a white one to beat Chinese.
本片的科幻背景和黑客帝国有点像，都是在不同世界的联接下发生的冲突的故事。据说李连杰还要求在本片体现他的佛学思想，这个并不是那么明显。
说起来本片还有点种族歧视的争议，有的影评说好莱坞是不会让一个有色人种担任主角而且还让他痛打白人的，所以除了中国人和黑人之外，只好让李连杰打自己。其实这也能可以理解为市场导向，要是中国人投资的影片，估计也不会找个白人担任男主角来痛打中国人的。
