Filming began on October 1, 1998.
Soderbergh initially wanted Michael Caine to play the lead role.
Flashback scenes with young Wilson were borrowed from Ken Loach's directorial debut, "Poor Cow" (1967), in which Terence Stamp also played a thief named Dave. In Soderbergh's film, we do not know Wilson's name, but in the script he was also Dave.
The Englishman listens to the song "The Seeker" by The Who. In the 1960s, Chris Stamp, Terence Stamp's brother, was one of the band's managers.
Ed, the Englishman's assistant, wears shirts with images of famous political figures throughout the film. Initially it's Ayatollah Khomeini, then – Che Guevara, followed by – Mao Zedong.
