- What Could Have Been: Lindsay Lohan was originally supposed to play Jade, but she turned down the role because she didn't like the script, and she didn't think the film would be that successful. Despite the film's huge box-office success, she went on record saying she didn't regret her decision.

Part 2:
- What Could Have Been: Mel Gibson was originally supposed to have a cameo in the sequel as a tattoo artist, but Word of God states that this fell through after cast & crew objected to his involvement. The role then went to Cooper's The A-Team co-star Liam Neeson was then cast in the role, and the scene was filmed, until the scene required re-shooting with new expository dialogue after some editing. Neeson was unavailable for the re-shoot due to scheduling conflicts, so the entire scene was shot with Nick Cassavetes in the role.
