[1] An old foot soldier (Chan) and a young general from a rival state (Wang) are the only survivors of a ruthless battle.

The Soldier survived because he is an expert in playing dead, with a device protruding like an arrowhead strapped to his body for added realism.

At the end of the fight, Prince Wen commits suicide to appease the Loufan leader and tells the General that one of them needs to live in order to ensure the continuity of Wey.

[4] Little Big Soldier was a joint production of China's Polybona Films and Hong Kong's JCE Movies Limited, a company set up by Jackie Chan in 2003.

Chan had wanted to perform in and write a comedic film that took place in a historical background since the 1980s, when Hong Kong action cinema was rising in prominence.

[5] Chan and Wang have remained close friends ever since, and went on to collaborate on numerous songs, movies, concerts, and official events.

[7] At a conference in Beijing on 20 November 2009, Jackie Chan announced, along with Universal Culture Limited and EURO WEBSOFT, that an MMO was being released to promote the film.
