* DeletedRole: Creator/SamRockwell had one scene ("Payback") playing Swoff's uncle Walt, a Marine who served in the Vietnam war and who encourages the young Swoff to join the force but that scene was deleted from the film. It can be found on the DVD and some online sources.
* HarpoDoesSomethingFunny:
** Creator/JohnKrasinski wrote all of his dialogue.
** The interviews with the grunts were all improvised. Creator/LucasBlack was particularly uncomfortable with this, as he preferred to work off a script.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The original screenplay contained a more pointed political stance which Creator/SamMendes stripped out.
** Creator/ChristianBale, Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio, Creator/JoshHartnett, Creator/EmileHirsch, Creator/JoshuaJackson, Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/ShaneWest were all considered for the role of Swoff.
** Creator/MichaelKeaton, Creator/GaryOldman and Creator/KurtRussell were all considered for the role of Lt. Col. Kazinski.
