Added DiffLines:
* ActorInspiredElement: The brief shot of Street vomiting after working out was something Creator/ColinFarrell came up with on his own. He told director Clark Johnson that he had a good idea for a shot, asked that a camera be set up, ran to craft services to get a mouthful of soup, and dramatically spit it out when the camera was rolling.
* BackedByThePentagon: Well, by the LAPD in this case. Actual [=SWAT=] officers appeared in the opening scenes of the movie, most of them in delivering the hotline between the negotiators and the bank robbers.
* FakeAmerican: Irish Creator/ColinFarrell as American Jim Street.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Creator/MichaelBay, Creator/MichaelMann, Creator/JoelSchumacher, Creator/TonyScott, Creator/ZackSnyder and Creator/JohnWoo were all approached to direct the film before Clark Johnson signed on. They passed because they were all busy with other projects.
** In early development, the role of Hondo was considered for, among other actors, Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger, Creator/EdHarris, and Creator/TommyLeeJones.
** Creator/MarkWahlberg was the first choice for the role of Jim Street, but turned it down in favor of portraying the lead role in ''Film/TheItalianJob2003''. Creator/PaulWalker was originally cast and had even started training for the part, but had to drop out due to filming on ''Film/TwoFastTwoFurious''.
** Creator/VinDiesel was offered to portray Deacon "Deke" Kaye, but passed because he was in production with ''Film/TheChroniclesOfRiddick'' and Music/LLCoolJ was then cast.
