!!Movie:
* CaliforniaDoubling: Many of the Philadelphia scenes were filmed in British Columbia, Canada. The chase scene in particular was done by stitching together second unit footage of the actual Philadelphia with footage shot in Canada. Many Canadian actors are used in the film's lesser roles.
* DyeingForYourArt: Creator/MarkWahlberg had to lose twenty pounds, to give Bob Lee Swagger the slim and ripped look of a field sniper, to make the film more realistic. He also received sniper training from the film's TechnicalAdvisor, former [[SemperFi scout sniper]] Patrick Garrity.
* MissingTrailerScene: The theatrical trailer features a scene not used in the film, where a small jet is blown up via remote control.
* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: It took 14 years after the novel came out before the movie was finally made. During this period several scripts were written and discarded, including one by Stephen Hunter himself (he admits that it wasn't very good, commenting "I'm a better novelist than I am a screenwriter"). The plans to make a film of ''Point of Impact'' began back in the mid-1990s, with Creator/TommyLeeJones intended to play Bob Lee Swagger.
* UncreditedRole: Creator/MacMcDonald as a police captain.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** According to script doctor Creator/WilliamGoldman, Creator/ClintEastwood, Creator/HarrisonFord and Creator/RobertRedford passed on the role of Bob Lee Swagger. Creator/KeanuReeves was also considered.
** Music/{{Eminem}} turned down a villain role.
