• An incident occurred during filming in Spain. Seven bulls involved in rehearsals escaped directly from the set.
• The film was shot in Boston, Los Angeles, Salzburg (Austria), Seville (Spain), and Port Antonio (Jamaica).
• Cruise turned down "Knight and Day" in favor of "The Tourist" and "Salt," as he found them too similar to "Mission: Impossible." He was attracted to "Knight and Day" by its "comedic elements."
• Originally, Eva Mendes and Chris Tucker were supposed to play the lead roles.
• Chris Tucker, Adam Sandler, and Gerard Butler auditioned for the role that went to Tom Cruise.
• Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz performed almost all the stunts themselves. Both are excellent drivers and have extensive experience performing sharp turns and 180-degree spins in a car.
• With the exception of the scene where his character falls from the roof during a chase in Austria, Tom Cruise performed all running and jumping stunts without a safety harness.
• All car collisions were filmed on set and then inserted into the film using computer technology.
• The futuristic flying vehicle that bombed the island, which served as a shelter for the main characters, was entirely a product of computer technology.
• Cruise turned down "Knight and Day" in favor of "Salt" and "The Tourist," as he found them too similar to "Mission: Impossible." He was attracted to "Knight and Day" by its "elements of comedy."
