Product placements draw laughs at preview screenings of Wind Blast in Shanghai and Xi'an. Besides prominently featuring a vehicle brand (Jeep?) in the story, the camera lingers over billboards for a medicinal product that is used in a joke later on. The Shanghai screening was cut short when the film caught fire during projection. Talk about a hot film! Some viewers up to that point complained that the story was unclear in the opening ten minutes and that having eight major players was too much. The Hollywood-like 'Chinese western' was both praised and criticized as imitative by the audience.
