Trivia provided by The Internet Movie Database:

—

• Inspired by a true story, the film follows the life of Liu Xing, a Chinese academic studying in America who gets caught up in campus politics.

• Val Kilmer was originally involved but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.

• The release date was delayed by film bosses because its plot eerily resembled the events of the Virginia Tech massacre, despite being filmed a year before.
