What's left behind the scenes
- The extended version of the film has a runtime of 116 minutes.
- The photo from Michael Bryce's police file, played by Ryan Reynolds, showing him in a terrible Christmas sweater, was taken from the actor's Instagram in 2018. Back then, Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal tricked Reynolds into going to a Christmas party, supposedly requiring him to wear the ugliest sweater possible, but the party turned out to be a normal one, and Reynolds in his specially selected sweater, of course, caused a sensation. The photo in the film is a photo from that very party, but with Jackman and Gyllenhaal cropped out.
- Johnny James and Venice Smith, who played Johan and Gary respectively, are the stunt doubles for Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson.
- Salma Hayek refused to perform a scene in which the three main characters fall on top of each other so that Ryan Reynolds' face ends up on her buttocks, and her own face is pressed against Samuel L. Jackson's groin. A stunt double replaced her in this scene.
- Greg Powell's team primarily shot stunt scenes outdoors using cars and boats. The most challenging scene to stage was the one in which a plumber's van loaded with pipes, pursued by an SUV, drives down a flight of stairs. This scene appears twice in the film – once with Reynolds' character driving cautiously, and another time with Jackson's character driving aggressively, pressing the gas pedal – so everything had to be organized carefully twice. In general, vans are not well-suited for high-speed stunt races. These scenes were filmed in the Croatian city and port of Rijeka on a staircase built by the ancient Romans.
- Over 220 local film industry workers and more than 760 extras for episodic roles were hired for filming in Croatia.
- In collaboration with director Patrick Hughes, production designer Russell De Rosario created numerous sets, including the interior of an exceptionally expensive yacht belonging to the character played by Antonio Banderas, which had to precisely match the interior of a real yacht in Croatia, as well as a nightclub, vineyard, and a street with shop windows, an ice cream parlor, and a tavern.
