- Immediately after Bruce Lee's death in Hong Kong in 1973, his body was flown back to his home in Seattle. Heartbroken, and consumed with comforting their young children Brandon and Shannon, then 8 and 4 respectively, Bruce's wife Linda asked Andre Morgan to arrange for Bruce's final resting place. Morgan found an ideal site consisting of two side-by side plots at Lake View Cemetery. Sadly, son Brandon was buried in the second grave twenty years later at the age of 28.
- Executive producer for the Hong Kong based film company Golden Harvest. Also executive produced the TV series "Martial Law.".
- As a favor to star Sammo Hung and producer Andre Morgan, Jackie Chan made a brief (uncredited) appearance in an early episode of Martial Law.
- For 1992's Ladybugs, starring Rodney Dangerfield, producer Andre Morgan felt that 17-year old newcomer Leonardo DiCaprio might be right to play the teenage "ringer" Dangerfield recruits for his all-girl soccer team. But director Sidney Furie thought DiCaprio was "too pretty" to play the part and give it instead to Jonathan Brandis.
- Enter the Dragon was actually filmed without sound - all sound effects and dialogue were later dubbed in all languages.
- Andre Morgan also gave Tom Selleck his second starring movie role in Lassiter, filmed at Twickenham Studios just outside of London. Although a huge star in the U.S. for Magnum P.I., the TV series had not yet been seen in the U.K., so Selleck was totally unknown in England. One day Selleck invited his new girlfriend to the set and it was Morgan who told her that Tom was the biggest TV star in the States.
- Morgan recruited film icon Robert Mitchum to star in Amsterdam Kills, Golden Harvest's first film outside its usual Hong Kong setting. Although regarded as a legendary "bad boy," Mitchum behaved admirably. Still, for some reason no one could discern, he hated the Hilton hotel in Amsterdam. After filming wrapped, and just minutes before he left the hotel for the last time, Mitchum glued the rubber bumpers of the elevators doors together.
- By the late 1970s, Jackie Chan was arguably the biggest movie star in Asia. Andre Morgan felt that Chan had the perfect screen persona to crossover to American films. So, as a "test run" to see if Chan appealed to the U.S. audience, Morgan cast him in a featured role in The Cannonball Run, alongside proven stars like Burt Reynolds, Roger Moore, Farah Fawcett, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr. Winning raves from critics and moviegoers alike, Jackie was propelled to international stardom. . . and never looked back.
- In Enter the Dragon, Jackie Chan appears as a guard during the underground prison battle scene and gets his neck snapped by Lee. He also performed several stunts for the film, including the scene where Lee's character quickly climbs a rooftop at night. Sammo Hung also made an appearance in a brief fight scene against Bruce Lee.
- Perhaps Love engaged two top-flight cinematographers - the Shanghai sequences were lensed by Peter Pau, while Australian Christopher Doyle lensed the Beijing sequences. Doyle also shot Morgan's next film: The White Countess.
- In 1984, Andre Morgan's first assistant at RMO was 19 year old Brandon Lee (Bruce's son). Earning his keep reading scripts and working for Morgan during daytime hours, Brandon studied acting at the Strasberg Academy at night. Morgan subsequently introduced him to Jan McCormick, who became Brandon's manager, and famed casting director Lynn Stalmaster, who gave Brandon his first role in Hollywood.
- Mr. Magoo a much-loved American animated character, was popular through 54 theatrical cartoons and 130 television episodes. His essential comic quality was total denial of his near-sightedness even though he was nearly blind. When Leslie Nielsen won the part of Magoo in 1997's feature film, Mr. Magoo, he told director Stanley Tong that he wasn't going to play Magoo with any visual impairment whatsoever. Challenged by Chinese director Stanley Tong, directing his first U.S. feature, Nielsen said only: "Don't worry - I know comedy." Audiences and critics agreed - Nielsen's approach to the role didn't work. . . and the film bombed.
- The Cannonball Run was innovative for running comic "outtakes" side-by-side with its end credit roll. This small "extra" was so successful, Jackie Chan linked "outtakes" with the end credits for most of his later movies. Today, "Outtakes" is a regular Special Feature on DVDs.
- As a cross-over between Morgan's two simultaneous TV series, Chuck Norris guest-starred as Texas Ranger Cordell Walker - his hit TV persona - in "Honor Among Strangers," episode 16 of Martial Law's second season.
- In June, 1972, on his second day at Golden Harvest, Morgan was sitting at his desk when Bruce Lee entered. Lee stopped, looked at him, almost stunned, and finally asked: "Are you American?" After Morgan replied "yes," Lee rushed forward to introduce himself: "I'm American, too." Indeed, at the time, Morgan and Lee were the only Americans working for Raymond Chow. They had lunch that day and soon became fast friends. One month later, they welcomed a third young American - Chuck Norris, the reigning U.S. Middleweight Martial Arts Champion, whom Lee had suggested play his nemesis in the movie. It was Norris' first substantial film role.
- When Andre Morgan produced 1994's The Scout, George Steinbrenner gave him access to Yankee Stadium for free. The actors and crew filmed their on-field sequences about an hour before the game started.
- Although a bona fide star in Asia, Sammo Hung had never worked in the U.S. when Morgan asked him to star in his new American TV series, Martial Law. But knowing that no U.S. network would approve a complete unknown, much less an unknown Chinese actor, to star in a major series, Morgan hired a crew to film a 12 minute "loop" which featured Sammo performing a series of fantastic stunts, martial arts fights and, at one point, diving through the window of a moving car to catch a bad guy. Les Moonves, head of CBS, loved the pitch and ordered the series on the spot.
- Despite a successful movie career, Chuck Norris, had never starred in or even been offered a TV series. Recalling their warm friendship in Hong Kong 25 years earlier, in 1997 Andre Morgan sent him a short synopsis detailing his character and the story arc of a proposed series called Sam Bolt, Texas Ranger. Norris thought about it for two days, then accepted the title role, which was later changed to Walker, Texas Ranger.
- Much of Farewell to the King was shot in real tribal locations on the island of Borneo. Nick Nolte, well known for the extensive preparation, arrived three weeks early to adapt to the environment and to learn the customs of the Iban tribe. It took two arduous days to reach their village, where he lived among the tribe. He was told that he was the first white man ever to stay overnight in the Iban longhouse. Nolte even endured the ceremonial trial each male had to pass to become a warrior - exotic rituals, communal river bathing, eating red ants, war dances and plenty of tuak (an extremely potent rice wine). For the final test Nolte was told he had to kill a wild boar with a spear. Which he did. . . but with his eyes closed.
- Betting that Tom Selleck's charisma on the hit TV series Magnum P.I. would carry over into feature films, Andre Morgan handed him his first starring movie role in Golden Harvest's A High Road to China.
- In preparation for his role in The White Countess, Ralph Fiennes observed a blind man's average day with help from the Royal Society for the Blind. During the shoot he wore special glasses to simulate blindness before each take.
- Andre Morgan recalls that on the set of Game of Death a choice had to be made for Bruce Lee's apparel from what was available - a yellow suit or a black suit. The yellow suit was chosen because it allowed a footprint from a kick to be seen more clearly on film in a fight scene between Lee and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
- At the 1981 European premiere of The Cannonball Run, Jackie Chan and Sammy Davis Jr., were presented "the keys to the city" by the then mayor of Paris - Jacques Chirac, later President of France (1995 - 2012).
- Impressed by John Travolta's work in both the Welcome Back, Kotter TV series and his supporting role in Carrie, producer Andre Morgan wanted him to play the young Italian-American soldier Fazio in The Boys in Company C, but deferred the decision to director Sidney Furie, who deemed Travolta "too ethnic" for the part. Michael Lembeck wound up as Fazio while Travolta hit the jackpot with his very next role - Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever.
- When Andre Morgan approached Jet Li to star in Peter Chan's epic The Warlords, Li expressed concern: "I'm a martial artist, not an actor." Morgan reassured him: "Just do what Peter says and you'll fool everybody." The advice must have worked - the next year Jet Li won Best Actor at both the Asian Film Awards and the prestigious Hong Kong Film Awards.
- Enter the Dragon - was shot for $450,000 and achieved a worldwide theatrical gross of over $90 million ($505 million in 2018 dollars), a return of 200 to 1.
- As with The Cannonball Run and most Jackie Chan movies, most episodes of Martial Law ran "outtakes" with the end credit roll.
