What's left behind the scenes
- Director David O. Russell planned a re-release of the film in connection with the second Iraq War, but the studio abandoned the idea at the last moment in November 2004. The re-release was to be accompanied by a documentary short film, “Soldiers Pay,” which he had filmed specifically for the occasion.
- Matt Damon and Matthew McConaughey turned down the offer to play the role that ultimately went to Mark Wahlberg.
- The character of Archie Gates was written with Clint Eastwood in mind, but the director wanted a younger actor. George Clooney persistently offered his services, but Nicholas Cage was ultimately preferred, and his efforts were successful only after he signed a contract for another project.
- The role of Major Archie Gates was offered to Nick Nolte, but the actor declined, stating that he was too old for it. Jeff Bridges also wanted to play this character, but was rejected due to the low box office receipts of his previous film, 'The Big Lebowski'.
- Sayed Mustafa Al-Kazwini, who played the fugitive Iraqi selling stolen cars from Kuwait to Major Gates, was actually tortured by Iraqi secret services in real life, as a result of which he lost an eye. He, like many other consultants and extras, was a refugee from Iraq, fleeing persecution by the Saddam Hussein regime.
- The film was officially banned from screening in Iraq.
- George Clooney combined work on the film with filming the series "ER". As a rule, he worked on the film set four days a week, with the remaining three days dedicated to the series.
- The propaganda leaflet with pictograms, held by the officer with a megaphone, was actually used during the Persian Gulf War, distributing appeals to Iraqi soldiers to surrender without resistance.
- The voice of the helicopter pilot at the beginning of the film belongs to director David O. Russell.
- On the original film posters, director David O. Russell was credited as the sole screenwriter, which caused great dissatisfaction from John Ridley, who wrote the main elements of the plot in his version. As a result of a legal process, his rights were restored, and his name was included in the film credits. He wrote the script with the sole purpose of testing his abilities, how quickly he could do it and then sell it. It took 7 days to write, and another 18 days later the script was bought by Warner Bros. studio.
- The author of the original screenplay, John Ridley, banned the publication of a novelization accompanying the film's release.
- Filming took place from November 12, 1998 to February 15, 1999.
- Matt Damon and Matthew McConaughey declined the offer to play the role that ultimately went to Mark Wahlberg.
