1. A popcorn movie with a high degree of completion, breaking the record for the highest box office premiere of a new movie in North America that year. Ang Lee rejected "Terminator 3" for directing the film, but it is still subordinate in the sequence of his personal works. Among them, the only distinctive author's mark is that the relationship between the protagonist and his father is still not harmonious.
2. Before the filming of this film, the use and grasp of special effects in Ang Lee’s films were limited to hanging steel wires. This film specially invited Dennis Muren, who has won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects seven times, as the visual director of the film. Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), a subsidiary of George Lucas, was invited to join. The cost of each special effect shot for the entire film is as high as 700,000 to 800,000 US dollars. In the production of the film, the pre-shooting took less than 5 months, and Ang Lee spent a year and a half in the computer special effect production base in San Francisco. After the success of "Pi" accumulated technology and experience.
3. The split-screen technology is used many times in the film, and the sense of comics is prominent. To this end, Roger Ebert once said: In this film, he (Ang Lee) used moving frame lines and picture-in-picture to simulate the narrative techniques commonly used in comic books. In some shots, the foreground and background hint at each other, which is amazing.
4. Universal Pictures initially bought out the movie rights of a single character of Marvel's "Hulk". Although Marvel was acquired by Disney in 2009 and had the financial resources to develop projects on its own, the priority of "Hulk" is still Universal. As enjoyed by Picture, Disney was locked in a standoff with it, resulting in repeated delays in the launch of the new Hulk stand-alone film.
