** The whole film was shot in near chronological order, with the result that actors would leave the production once their characters were killed off. As they all bonded during filming, they felt a genuine sense of loss.

The British Captain Ryan is played by the Irish Creator/LiamCunningham. Creator/LiamCunningham.
** A milder example is Craig Conway, a Newcastle native, putting on a southern RP accent as the camper in the opening.
* FriendshipOnTheSet: The actors became like a BandOfBrothers during filming, with Sean Pertwee and Kevin [=McKidd=] becoming so close that the former says that, since he was wrapped before him, they would be on the phone "every five minutes" while he was still shooting Cooper's final scenes.


Added DiffLines:

* OnSetInjury: Kevin [=McKidd=] broke a rib filming the squad's introductory scene when he slammed into the side of a tree, only two days into filming. He kept it hidden for two weeks out of fear of losing his part.


Added DiffLines:

** Another actor was cast as the male camper who gets killed in the beginning, but dropped out the day before filming. Craig Conway was in rehearsals for a play and pretended to be ill so he could fly out to Luxembourg for two days.

* AbilityOverAppearance: Cooper was not intended to be Scottish, since Jason Statham was the forerunner for the role. While Kevin [=McKidd=] has often had to [[FakeBrit do an English accent]] for roles, he used his natural voice. This [[OrphanedReference might explain]] why Cooper doesn't question Megan's inaccurate statement that the nearest town is a four hour drive away (Kevin gleefully pointed out during production that nowhere in Scotland is that far away).
