Before appearing in this film, Wesley Snipes read a copy of Sun Tzu's "Art of War" in Passenger 57 (1992).

Jet Li was originally set to play the lead part.

When Wesley Snipes' character gets on the red bike and rides off, the camera cranes down to a newspaper and focuses on a particular headline as the pages flip in the wind. The stunt man that was riding on the bike crashed just as the camera panned down to the newspaper. It was a MV Augusta F4 that had been carefully transported from Virginia and of which only 20-some had been imported.

The photograph hanging from Neil Shaw's (Wesley Snipes) rear view mirror features British model/actress Donna Ewin.

Before appearing in this film, Michael Biehn read a copy of Sun Tzu's "Art of War" in K2 (1991).
