Known Trivia

• Michael Bay delayed making this film multiple times in favor of the Transformers series. He specifically said he wanted to make a small inexpensive film as a change of pace.
• Albert Brooks was considered for the role of Marc Schiller but a deal couldn't be reached and John Turturro was cast instead. Turturro dropped out due to scheduling conflicts and Tony Shalhoub was cast.
• At just over 20 million dollars, the film stands as Michael Bay's lowest-budgeted film since his feature film debut Bad Boys. He, Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson took pay cuts to keep the budget down.
• For his role as a body builder, 'Mark Wahlberg' bulked up to 212 pounds for this film.
• Michael Bay's first R-rated movie since Bad Boys II.
• Mark Wahlberg said that his sons loved the enormous, muscular, body-builder physique that he was sporting during filming of this film but his daughters hated it.
• Mark Wahlberg was in the process of trying out supplements for his own line of body-building products while bulking up for his movie. So he said he effectively got a body-builder physique by using his own products.
