* FakeBrit: American Creator/JohnLithgow playing EvilBrit Eric Qualen. Lithgow was actually offered the option to play the character as either American, British, or [[AmoralAfrikaner South African]]. He ruled out American because he thought playing it with his real accent would be boring, and he ruled out South African because he didn't think he could pull off the accent. Therefore, he decided to go, in his own words, "the Creator/AlanRickman route."

* DeletedScene:
** "Ice Climb": Right after Gabe survives the avalanche and before he meets with Jessie at the cabin, he climbs up a frozen waterfall. According to Creator/RennyHarlin, the scene was cut because it didn't look real enough (The waterfall was a fiberglass wall and the background was optically inserted) and they didn't want Gabe to appear invincible and be able to do anything.
** "King's Leap": Right after the scene where the bridge which connects the two mountain faces is destroyed, Gabe does a running jump between the two mountain faces and safely lands on the wall of the opposing cliff. According to Harlin, this was cut because while climbers actually jump between mountain faces, the jump they had him doing was a little too far to be believable. They then got around the part of how Gabe and Jessie got around the mountain by having them backtrack and go all the way around. Some audio was also re-recorded for that after the scene was cut.
