* DyeingForYourArt: Creator/TomCruise went SilverFox to play Vincent. He also went through intense firearms training and practiced going incognito (by successfully spending a day going around in public as a delivery man, with only a hat and sunglasses as a disguise, and not having a single person recognize him) to properly portray a character who's both extremely deadly and capable of slipping away in a crowd.

* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: This movie sat on DreamWorks development books for three years. Mimi Leder was initially attached to direct until it passed on to Janusz Kaminski. It wasn't until Creator/RussellCrowe became interested in playing Vincent that the project started generating any heat. Crowe brought Creator/MichaelMann on board, but the constant delays pushed Crowe off the project. Mann immediately went to Creator/TomCruise with the idea of him playing the hitman and Creator/AdamSandler as the cabbie.

* InspirationForTheWork: Australian Screenwriter Stuart Beattie was only seventeen when he took a cab home from the Sydney airport. It was on that ride that he had the idea of a homicidal maniac sitting in the back of a cab, with the driver nonchalantly entering into conversation with him, trusting his passenger implicitly. Beattie drafted his idea into a two-page treatment. Later, when he was enrolled at Oregon State University, he fleshed it out into his first screenplay. Titled ''The Last Domino'', he put the script away, taking it out occasionally for revisions and re-writes over the following years.

* AwardCategoryFraud: When Creator/JamieFoxx was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, a few people protested that he should have been considered the star of the movie, and that Creator/TomCruise only got top billing because he's better known. Another reason for Foxx getting campaigned there was because he was the frontrunner to win Best Actor for ''Film/{{Ray}}'' that same year, and the studios wanted to avoid potentially splitting the votes for his performances.
