• Sean William Scott was initially cast as Connor Watts, but the actor was unable to participate in the filming, and the role went to Johnny Knoxville.
• The song in Chinese sung by Johnny Knoxville in the film's trailer is actually Jackie Chan's "Please Understand My Heart." In Hong Kong, Chan is known as an actor and is famous as a singer who has released several albums.
• Jackie Chan came up with the name "Benny" for his character so that his partner's daughter, Samantha, would call him "Uncle Benny." The actor took this name in honor of Kim Chan (1917-2008), who played Uncle Benny in Richard Donner's action film "Lethal Weapon 4" (1998). Jackie Chan simply changed the letter "y" to the letters "ie" in the English spelling of the name.
• Renny Harlin replaced Sam Fell as the film's director.
• On December 17, 2014, cinematographer Kwok Hung Chan drowned during filming.
• This is the first film released in theaters in the career of actress, dancer, model, and professional wrestler Eve Torres.
• Benny stated that he cannot swim. Jackie Chan, the performer of this role, also cannot swim.
• Benny and Connor make a journey from Siberia to the border with China, covering a distance of over 2000 kilometers, or 1242 miles.
