James Silva: (In Russian) I've made a lot of those.
- During Dougie's last stand, Bishop quotes "A Man Must Sometimes Spit On His Hands, Raise The Black Flag, And Begin Slicing Throats". This is from the 1990 book Friday Night Lights by HG Bissinger, which Peter Berg adapted into the 2004 film and 2006 TV series. The quote, from Mencken's 1919 Prejudices (First Series), is in full: "Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."
- Peter Berg: as Lucas, the ex-husband of Alice, over the videophone.
- Towards the end of the film, Li tells Silva, "Say hello to your mother for me". On Saturday Night Live (1975) , Andy Samberg does a parody of Mark Wahlberg. His character often ends a conversation with the line, "Say hi to your mother for me".
- Some of the sentences heard from the screams of the antagonists are in Bahasa Indonesian, a national language of Indonesian Republic. The movie setting is "Indokarr," a fictional analog of Indonesia.
- At approximately 24 min, a shot shows "Moscow, Russia" and a view of an airport. The latitude/longitude indicated are roughly that of the Kremlin. The presumably Russian airfield is actually Long Beach Airport (LGB) There are 3 C-17s in the center of the shot and 2 JetBlue A320/A321 aircraft in the upper right. In the upper left is the moored Farmers Insurance airship. The airship, with an actual name of Eureka, was operated by Airship Ventures, which shut down in 2012. The airship was disassembled and returned to the manufacturer shortly thereafter. This suggests that the shot is stock footage from 2008 - 2012, depending on when Farmers was using the particular livery on the airship in the scene (there were several). Lastly, the footage runs in reverse (note the direction the vehicles are driving) to make the shot pan back rather than forward.
