  • Both Wes Craven and Carl Ellsworth filmed cameos as airline passengers in the airport terminal. Wes Craven couldn't keep a straight face with his script supervisor Sheila, so their cameo wound up on the cutting room floor. Ellsworth's cameo remains in the final cut: three women are sleeping on the terminal seats and they all have their heads resting on the next ones shoulders, until the last one is sleeping on a man's shoulder; this is Carl Ellsworth wearing a green sweatshirt promoting the band Outkast.
  • During the scene where Lisa runs over the Beemer assassin, at the moment the Jeep impacts the doorway and the assassin is launched through the door, the assassin (or a voice dubbed in later) says "America!"
  • When the "fishing" crew pull in the crate with the missile into the ship, they are speaking Russian.
  • When a woman spills an iced cappuccino on Lisa, the expression on Rachel McAdams's face is real surprise, not acted. She did not know that the beverage would be so cold.
  • In the scene in the plane bathroom, Cillian Murphy actually missed the place to throw Rachel McAdams. She hit her head and was knocked unconscious for a half hour. After that she was ready for work and Murphy was afraid to do it again. This was captured on film and is included in the gag reel on the DVD. In the take that's in the film Murphy's hand can be seen holding the back of McAdams' head to guard it from it hitting again.
