-Une des scènes du film présente la madeleine comme vecteur de finesse d'esprit. -Franck conduit une BMW noir serie 7 e38 modèle 740 i. -Les cascades effectuées par Frank ont été, durant le tournage, réalisées à 80% par l'acteur Jason Statham lui-même, exceptées celles qui étaient susceptibles de porter atteinte à son intégrité physique, et qui furent donc exécutées par une équipe de cascadeurs professionnels,par exemple : La scène où Frank saute en parachute depuis un avion de tourisme au dessus d'une autoroute, Jason Statham lui-même a effectué le saut. En revanche, lorsque Frank, en plein centre ville, détruit une partie d'un pont en pierre pour atterrir sur la remorque d'un camion, un cascadeur expérimenté a endossé le rôle du transporteur.

When Lai is flipping through the picture's at Frank's house, the photo of the little boy with the monkey is really Jason Statham.

The trailer for the film showed Frank deflecting a missile with a tea tray. In the same scene in the film, the assault on Frank's house, there is no sign of this in the released version. It was taken out at Jason Statham's request because he didn't think audiences would believe it.
Frank's car is a BMW 750i E38 (pre-facelift). The car in the movie is the only one ever produced with a manual six-speed gearbox. This information is obtained from the full-length audio commentary available on the DVD. People have made conversions using the manual gearbox from the BMW 850CSi E31 but that car is genuinely rare.
