Just watched it on the Echo Bridge DVD.

Dolph looks good in the movie but it is super cheesy.

Was this a failed TV pilot?

Yes indeed, John Woo was committed to deliver a second TV pilot to Alliance (for whom he had done and produced the ONCE A THIEF series), and USA Networks was to air the show, but they did not pick the series after they aired the pilot... This was also an attempt to relaunch Dolph's career obviously.

Very little, and rather during production (where I think some journalists were invited) than after (except in a 2 pages interview for French Impact magazine).

How did Dolph come to be in it, was he John's first choice, was it some kind of package deal? It looks like he was trying to give Dolph a Chow Yun Fat kind of cool imge, with the glasses and suit...
