* QuestionableCasting: Bangladeshi Filmmaker Raffael Ahsan was brought on to translate the script into Bengali. But the Indian actors casted could barely speak the language co-herently. Ahsan even tried to suggest bringing in Bengali speaking actors but was refused due to lack of star power yet with exception of Bollywood star Randeep Hooda playing the Indian Saju. None of the Asian cast in the film were known actors anyways. On a side note the Casting Director was Sarah Halley Finn who seems to have a habit of {{Interchangeable Asian Cultures}} approach toward South Asian casting. Fans noticed this with her other works like Ms Marvel. She also tends to frequently cast Marvel actors but somehow missed British Bangladeshi Jan Uddin [[note]] can speak fluent Bengali as he has done in one of his smaller roles back in the UK [[/note]] who was recently featured in Agents of Sheild season 6 not too long before Extraction was in pre-production and Indian Priyanshu Painyuli was cast simply because she believed his Hindu name sounded like he could be Bangladeshi. [[note]] Bangladesh is a Muslim majority country with majority using Arabic or Perisan names [[/note]]
* SignatureScene: TheOner, in which Tyler and Ovi run through multiple buildings while fighting soldiers and cops and being pursued by Suji, is almost unanimously agreed to be not only the best action scene in the movie, but also one of the best action sequences in recent memory.
* TooCoolToLive: Gaspar is an ex-mercenary who is able to subdue the admittedly injured Tyler while drunk. Naturally, [[spoiler:he gets shot by Ovi in self-defense when he tries to explain why he's giving him up to Asif.]]
