One of the difficulties for director John Woo of working on a Hollywood movie was dealing with the star power of Jean-Claude Van Damme, who exerted a lot of control over the project, from script approval to filming to final cut. For example, van Damme would insist on having one of the cameras focused on his muscles at all times. Woo complied, but never used any of that footage. Van Damme would also delay filming because he was often on the phone negotiating new projects. Despite the difficulties, Woo did not regret working with van Damme, calling him a "quite interesting guy", and actually preferred the experience of filming in the USA over working in Asia for some years.
