La Femme Nikita
Director Stephen Shin originally wanted the film to be a straight remake of Luc Besson's film "La Femme Nikita" but couldn't after Disney purchased the rights for an American remake. Critics compared the film unfavorably to "La Femme Nikita". Jade Leung won the award for Best Newcomer at the 11th Hong Kong Film Awards for her role in the film. A sequel titled "Black Cat 2: The Assassination of President Yeltsin" was released in 1992.
