- Enforced Method Acting: Brendan Fraser and Matt Damon have said that the emotions during the shower fight got very real, as they were wrestling while nude in a steam-filled shower room filled with hard tiles and metal fixtures. The slipperiness, potential for injury, and being naked in front of dozens of people resulted in raw, emotional vulnerability that showed through on camera.

The scene was shot in Twentynine Palms, California.
