Trivia[]
- The sword acts quite similarly to the Heroin in The Lost and Damned and the Diamonds in The Ballad of Gay Tony in the sense that it is the plot item, and that the character has to work to get it back. The main difference is that the sword is a weapon, and that it is personal for Huang, while the Heroin and the Diamonds are business for the others.
