Keoni Waxman said "The movie is a different tone than the previous films – a crazy, violent ‘grindhouse’ style... There isn't as much gun play as'' Max Con'' but we wanted to go old school and make a sort of ‘western kung fu movie’ on this one."<ref name= "net">{{cite web|url=http://www.steven-seagal.net/xen/index.php?threads/interview-updates-keoni-waxman.12730/|website=The Unofficial Steven Seagal|title=Interview / Updates Keoni Waxman!|date=June 27, 2013}}</ref>{{Better source needed|date=January 2023}}
