• The role of Bart was specifically written for Albert Finney, but he turned it down to star in "Big Fish" (2003). The role was also offered to Anthony Hopkins, Michael Caine, and Brian Cox. Ultimately, Bart was played by Bob Hoskins.
• In the first version of the script, Sam (Morgan Freeman) was not blind. But after Morgan Freeman visited a school for the blind to learn piano, he suggested making his character blind, as he believed it would be easier for Sam to 'see' a child in Danny, rather than a hardened killer.
• The film features not only Jet Li's longest fight scene in his career, but also his most brutal.
• Luc Besson wrote the screenplay specifically for Jet Li.
• Filming took place from January to May 2003 in Glasgow (Scotland) and Norfolk (England), with several scenes also shot in France.
• During filming, the script was modified taking into account the wishes of Morgan Freeman (who sometimes even exasperated the director) and Bob Hoskins.
