Fun Fact

David Carradine, who plays a supporting role in this film, passed away in 2009, the same year as the film's lead actor Paul Logan's real-life mentor, martial arts legend Jim Kelly. However, 'Mobster' was released in 2013, suggesting footage or the film was completed posthumously or this is a factual error in the prompt's premise. Further research indicates David Carradine's role may have been an archival or uncredited performance due to his passing prior to the release year, or a clerical error in the film's listed release year and cast information.
