After the main filming was finished, the stars were asked to reshoot one final "passionate" love scene which comes up after the credits. "Chris was working in Hong Kong and I couldn't get there because I was working on my own film," Natalie told the New York Daily News.

"And so they put his wife in my wig and costume, that's why it was so passionate. It was such a perfect solution, wasn't it?" she added.
