What's left behind the scenes
- As in many other films about hackers, the process of creating the 'worm' is shown rather unrealistically – Stanley's computer has a three-dimensional interface, and even the 'worm' itself looks like a three-dimensional cube with running lines of code.
- In trailers, television commercials, and in the press, the password 'Vernam' is given at the end of the film, allowing viewers to play a game on the film's official website.
- On the floor of Holly's room, you can see a book by William Gibson, 'Neuromancer,' a classic work of the cyberpunk genre.
- The name of the Finnish hacker Aksel Torvalds is composed of the surname of Linus Torvalds (the 'father' of the Linux OS) and the name of W. Axl Rose (the frontman of Guns'n'Roses).
- The protagonist hacks the theoretically unhackable Vernam cipher.
- The title of the film 'Swordfish' plays on the theme of cryptography, referencing the real encryption algorithms Blowfish and Twofish.
- The name of the main character, Stanley Jobson, is similar to the name of Steve Jobs, one of the founders of Apple Corporation.
- On the door of the restroom where the scene of the protagonist kissing Ginger takes place, a sickle and hammer – a symbol of the USSR – is depicted. And the name of the club where the characters were located – 'Red Heat' – is by analogy with the film of the same name.
- In one scene of this film, Halle Berry appears topless for the first time. Following the film's release, rumors circulated in the press that the actress's fee was increased by two million dollars for appearing nude. Berry herself later stated that the filmmakers paid her $250,000 for each exposed breast.
- The bomb on the hostage girl, when it exploded, riddled everything around with holes, so the holes in the metal should be directed outwards from the epicenter. However, in subsequent shots, it is visible that the holes in the cars are directed inwards from each car, upwards, and across the entire surface of the vehicle.
- In the scene where Travolta's character kills Senator Reisman, the water level constantly changes with each cut.
- Filming took place from September 18 to December 15, 2000.
- On the floor of Holly's room, you can see William Gibson's "Neuromancer," a classic work of the cyberpunk genre.
- The name of the Finnish hacker Aksel Torvalds is composed of the surname of Linus Torvalds (the “father” of the Linux OS) and the name of W. Axl Rose (the frontman of Guns’n’Roses).
