* ''Film/HeartOfDragon'' opens with a bunch of terrorists (led by Creator/JackieChan, no less!) battling a platoon of SWAT personnel in a dense forest, with the entire SWAT team getting killed (one even suffers a NeckSnap from Jackie) and the personnel leader facing Jackie in a MexicanStandoff. Then, Jackie hands over his gun... the next scene reveals it to be a training exercise with Jackie's team tasked with training some junior operatives. In fact the fake prologue which is filled with shootouts is a BaitAndSwitch for the entire film in general, since the rest of the movie is a {{narm}}y melodrama about Chan's character raising his mentally-ill brother with few action scenes countable on one hand.
