- Executive Meddling: Exploited. Steven Dorff does full frontal nudity with a semi-erect penis towards the end. Lee Daniels shot it also with the penis fully erect, knowing it would be censored, and he'd get away with the semi-erect shot (which was the one he really wanted).
- Fake American: Technically. Rose is implied to be a British woman who moved to America years ago, but Helen Mirren still speaks with an American accent (with slips that suggests Rose's accent comes and goes).
- Magnum Opus Dissonance: Vanessa Ferlito - best known for CSI: NY, Graceland, Death Proof, and NCIS: New Orleans - considers this her favorite role.
- Playing Against Type: Helen Mirren as a hardened assassin who sleeps with a man twenty years her junior.
- What Could Have Been:
- Anjelica Huston was considered for the role of Rose.
- Michael Biehn turned down a role.
