• The film is based on the novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka "All You Need is Kill" (2004).
• Brad Pitt was initially offered the lead role, but he declined.
• Bérénice Bejo was considered for the role of Rita Vrataski.
• Tom Cruise began pre-production on July 20, 2012, less than a week after finishing work on the film "Oblivion" (2013).
• Tom Cruise spent over $100,000 on a party to celebrate the completion of filming for the cast and crew. He himself was not present at the party, as he was finishing work on his scenes in the film at that time.
• Screenwriter Dante Harper was left out of the final credits, despite selling the film's script to Warner Bros. in 2010 for an amount exceeding $1 million.
• The majority of the film's shooting took place on the same sets as the Harry Potter films.
• Emily Blunt confessed that she cried after being put in the metal suit because it was very heavy (around 84 lbs) and she had to film action scenes in it for 5 months.
• The original story revolves around an invasion of Tokyo. Rita is American, and Cage is Japanese, named Keiji Kiriya, who earns the nickname 'Killer Cage' by the end of the story.
• Jeremy Piven's character was added during reshoots, but ultimately all scenes featuring him were cut.
• Tom Cruise was one of the first people to learn about Emily Blunt's pregnancy. The film crew and actors had a gap of several months between the main and reshoots. During this period, Emily Blunt became pregnant but decided not to tell anyone. She was only a few weeks along when the actress had to return to filming. Tom Cruise was very puzzled by the fact that Blunt refused to perform her own stunts during the reshoots, considering she had done everything herself during the main shoot, after which Blunt told him about her condition.
• 70 exosuits of various configurations were made for the filming of the movie, weighing from 27 to 57 kilograms.
• The helicopter that landed in Trafalgar Square belongs to the Royal Air Force of Great Britain and was piloted by professional military personnel.
• Although the film's plot takes place over just two days, albeit repeating many times, the art department created 47 sets for filming, including a giant beach where 1300 tons of sand were brought in.
• When Cage is rude to the head of physical training, and they are made to do push-ups, you can notice that everyone is doing them honestly, while Private Kimmel is doing them on his knees.
• At the beginning of the film, among news footage, you can see a clip of the Chelyabinsk meteor fall in 2013, which is presented as part of an alien invasion. These shots are presented as filmed in Germany, as indicated by the inscription "breaking news: panic as meteor strikes germany" at the bottom of the screen.
