- After the success of Mortal Kombat he was considered for Spawn and a Shaka Zulu movie, which was expected to boost his acting career. After Shaka Zulu got shelved, he got a successful financial business opportunity. That combined with the birth of his second daughter, made him decide to turn his back on acting.

- Hakim Alston was in a motor cycle accident, the day before shooting his fight against Robin Shou, which severely damaged the skin on his hand. They had to go to great lengths to hide his injuries. For example, that's why it became a bo staff fight, so his hand would constantly be wrapped around something.
