• An error occurred during a stunt involving two trams and cars, resulting in serious damage to one of the trams. The film crew received a substantial bill for its repair.
• The office of a large tour company in Amsterdam served as the prison where Sonia Kinkead was held. Window bars and evidence of intense police activity near the building were added to the footage during post-production.
• Initially, it was intended to be a drama, but the script was urgently rewritten into a comedy over two weeks shortly before filming began. On March 9, 2016, it became known that Jeff Wadlow had left the project, and Patrick Hughes became the director.
• Specifically for his role in this film, Gary Oldman learned to speak fluent Russian. He had no prior knowledge of the language.
• No scenes were filmed in The Hague. Moreover, there is no subway in The Hague. Footage of The Hague's rooftops was added during post-production.
• Samuel L. Jackson later admitted that he only signed on to star in the film because Ryan Reynolds would be in it.
• On the 91st minute, when Samuel L. Jackson's character is driving under the bridge, his car has headlights and a hood, even though they had fallen off earlier. When he drives out from under the bridge, the headlights and hood are gone again.
• During the chase in Amsterdam (74th minute), Kinkade shows the killers the middle finger with his left hand, and in the next frame – with his right.
