On 20 December 2021, filming a firearm shootout scene took place at the Kwai Tsing Container Terminals. That day, Kwok revealed to the media that his bucktooth look was his own idea he suggested after reading the film's script and noticing black comedy elements being present, while he will also be wearing a cauliflower ear made from special effects as his character is also a professional wrestler. Lam also unveiled his long-haired look as a taxi driver while Jen unveiled his grizzled look wearing a gray wig.[5][6] Cheung reveals that she will be firing a gun on screen for the first time in this film while Nancy Wu also give details about his role as Lam's wife who will be quarreling with her mother-in-law played by Paw Hee-ching.[7] David Chiang, who appears in the film alongside his real-life son, John Chiang, Jr stated he had no clue his half-brother Derek Yee was serving as the film's producer before his son was cast.[8]
