The first draft of the script was set during the July 1997 transfer of Hong Kong from British to Chinese rule, with Carver a zealot bent on destroying Hong Kong, rather than hand it over to the Chinese. According to director Roger Spottiswoode, this plot was dropped when former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who was acting as a consultant on the production, warned that, if something actually did occur during the handover in real life, this movie would look ridiculous. Furthermore, this would have instantly dated a movie that was due to open in November, so in January 1997, when production was kicking off, a frantic re-write of the script was taking place. With all of the actors and actresses on board and ready to film, the new script also had to tally with their visions of their characters. Jonathan Pryce and Teri Hatcher were unhappy with the route their characters were taking in the new script, prompting even more re-writes.
