- Lee Child: The author of the books makes a cameo as the cop that gives Reacher his personal belongings back when he leaves jail.
- Hayley Atwell, Brit Marling and Alexa Davalos tested for the role of Helen Rodin.
- Leads Cruise and Pike sourced The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) in their quest to capture the right subtle chemistry between their characters.
- Robert Duvall's character is seen using bullets as ear plugs, this is a possible reference to Stephen King's character Roland Deschain in his Dark Tower series of novels who also uses bullets as ear plugs on a number of occasions. Stephen King is a Jack Reacher fan and mentions him in his bestseller Under The Dome.
- The sales person behind the counter selling the watch to Nancy Holt (the blonde female victim) was Tom Cruise's stand-in for the movie.
