• The martial art practiced by the main characters of the film is called Kali, an ancient Filipino martial art that includes techniques of fighting with sticks, knives, and bare hands. Currently, this martial art is in the arsenal of special forces units in many countries around the world, including the USA and NATO countries.
• The character of Tommy Lee Jones is based on the real tracker and survival expert Tom Brown Jr., who served as a technical consultant on this film.
• During the filming of the fight scene with Tommy Lee Jones, Benicio Del Toro broke his arm, so filming had to be suspended for four months, and the film's release date was postponed.
• The script sometimes required rain, so many scenes were decided to be filmed in Portland, Oregon, however, it did not rain in Portland during the entire filming period.
• According to director William Friedkin, in the final fight with Tommy Lee Jones' character, Benicio Del Toro used the same blade that his character made on-screen according to the film's plot.
• The screenplay was written by David and Peter Griffiths; at the request of producer James Jacks, the film wasn't greenlit until William Friedkin came on board as director.
• The final showdown was initially filmed in Portland, but completed in Port Angeles, Washington.
