Trivia[]

- This was originally developed as a sequel to the Martin Lawrence comedy Blue Streak.
- Anthony Hopkins only did the film because his agent insisted that he do a blockbuster. Chris Rock was not satisfied with the film and he and Michael Ealy did not get along during filming.
- A then unknown Charlie Day makes one of his first film appearances in this.
- This was one of the last films to feature the World Trade Center before 9/11.
