President Nemerov: (to Cabot, about Ryan) I like him.
Bill Cabot: In that case, so do I.
- Phillip Noyce, director of Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994), was offered to direct but turned it down. Harrison Ford also turned down the role of Jack Ryan. It is still unclear whether their decisions were related.
- The U.S. aircraft carrier shown in the movie is CVN-74, the U.S.S. John C. Stennis, identified by the large white "74" on the side of the ship.
- When the National Anthem is being sung before the Super Bowl the portion we hear is from the fourth stanza not the first that is usually sung before sporting events.
- Harrison Ford dropped out of reprising the role of Jack Ryan because he and director Phillip Noyce could not agree on the script. Noyce ended up dropping out of the film as well.
- When shooting at the desert locations, several Panavision cameras reportedly malfunctioned when the heat caused some of the internal parts to soften and fail.
