What's left behind the scenes

  • Sam Worthington was considered for the role of Duke.
  • David Murray was originally intended to play Destro.

  • All scenes featuring Dennis Quaid were filmed in the first two months of shooting.
  • In 2003, Don Murphy was supposed to be the producer of the film, but he reached an agreement with 'Hasbro Company' to produce 'Transformers' (2007).
  • Larry Hama, the creator of 'G.I. Joe' (1984), was hired as a consultant.
  • Initially, Channing Tatum declined the offer to star in the film because he believed it glorified war. However, after reading the script, he changed his mind, as he saw the film more as a fantastical action thriller rather than a war movie.

  • The filmmakers enjoyed working with Dennis Quaid so much that they specifically added about 10-15 scenes to the film for him.
