• Filming took place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, from May 9 to June 19, 2011.
• The original title of the film translates to "Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning".
• According to director John Hyams, the fight between John (Scott Adkins) and Luke Deveraux (Jean-Claude Van Damme) was more acrobatic, but the scene had to be redesigned when Adkins tore a ligament in his knee before filming.
• The first film in the series shot in 3D.
• Besides Van Damme and Lundgren, the only actors from the previous installment were Andrei Orlovsky and Christopher Van Varenberg.
• There are no scenes in this film where Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren appear together.
• It is claimed that Jean-Claude Van Damme didn't like the fact that his character was supposed to die at the hands of Scott Adkins' character (John), and he was persuaded to play the scene of his character's death exactly as written in the script only after filming had already begun.
• It is claimed that Jean-Claude Van Damme did not like the staging of his final fight with Scott Adkins' character, and that he even stated that “no one fights like that.” Adkins, in turn, recounted in an interview that during the filming of this scene, he moved slower than usual for Van Damme's convenience, who was more accustomed to a more measured pace of combat than Adkins' Hong Kong style. In addition, Adkins filmed this scene with a minor leg injury, which also affected his mobility.
• The original title of the film translates to "Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning".
