TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

When Yan and SP Wong are waiting at the elevator, the digital floor counter skips the 4th floor. In China and Hong Kong, the number 4 is considered bad luck because it sounds similar to the word 'death'.

When referencing this film as the inspiration for the Best Picture-winning The Departed (2006), the announcer at the 79th Academy Awards mistakenly identified the Hong Kong production as Japanese.

The psychiatrist's name, "Lee Sum Yee", is a homophone (in Cantonese) for "your psychiatrist".

The film had been selected as the Hong Kong entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 76th Academy Awards but it was not nominated.

The English title is a play on words mixing Ming's job in the IA, the infernal nature of both characters' double lives, and finally Dante's Inferno, relating to the original Cantonese title.

Popular Dialogues

"Lau Kin Ming: I have no choice before, but now I want to turn over a new leaf. Chan Wing Yan: Good. Try telling that to the judge; see what he has to say. Lau Kin Ming: You want me dead? Chan Wing Yan: Sorry, I'm a cop Lau Kin Ming: Who knows that?"

"Lau Kin Ming: Do all undercover cops like rooftops? Chan Wing Yan: Unlike you, I'm not afraid of light."
