1* DeletedRole:
2** Creator/EstellaWarren planned to make a big comeback with a supporting role, but her part - she and Adam Brody play a husband and wife who get wrapped up in the film's plot - was deleted from the final print (although Brody remains in the movie).
3** Creator/KeithDavid and Creator/AngelaBassett were cast as the bosses of the title characters, but only their voices remained in the final movie. David can still be briefly be seen [[FreezeFrameBonus in the reflection of a computer monitor during one single scene.]]
4** Creator/TerenceStamp and Creator/JacquelineBisset (the latter who is Creator/AngelinaJolie's godmother) also appeared in a subplot as terrorists that got cut.
5* DuelingStarsMovie: Both Creator/BradPitt and Creator/AngelinaJolie were A-List celebrities when this movie came out, which only made the hype for the film that much more intense.
6* MissingTrailerScene: Due to over an hour of scenes being cut before release, the trailers were filled with these. Every scene with Creator/KeithDavid and additional scenes with Creator/VinceVaughn are gone.
7* RealLifeRelative:
8** Not at this stage but soon afterwards, the romance between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was already well publicized before the movie came out, to the point that some initially assumed that this was a ''Film/{{Gigli}}''-style attempt at capitalizing on their romance. Apparently, they fell in love on the set.
9** For a loose definition of relative, Creator/JacquelineBisset is Creator/AngelinaJolie's real-life godmother, and she was supposed to have appeared in a subplot that got cut.
10* RecycledTheSeries: There was an attempt to adapt the film into a TV series that never materialized.
11* RomanceOnTheSet: Creator/BradPitt infamously started a romance with Creator/AngelinaJolie while filming (he was married to Creator/JenniferAniston at the time, and eventually divorced her to marry Jolie).
12* ThrowItIn:
13** When Jane is going to her first shown kill, she correctly answers a question from ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}''. This was unscripted and spur of the moment on the part of Creator/AngelinaJolie.
14** The scene where John accidentally shoots through Jane's windshield was supposed to have him hopping over the last fence, but Brad Pitt actually tripped and broke the fence. However, his muttered line of "Oh, dear God!" as he rushed through the mangled fence was so amusing that the director kept the scene the way it was.
15--->'''John:''' Nononononono! ''Accident!''
16* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
17** Brad and Angelina were both replacements when filming began to snarl. Before the two of them were confirmed, others actors were considered for their roles, such as Creator/WillSmith and Creator/JohnnyDepp for John and Creator/CateBlanchett, Creator/NicoleKidman, Creator/CatherineZetaJones, Creator/EvaGreen and Music/GwenStefani for Jane. Now try to imagine both A) the movie with any combination of the previous actors, and B) a world without over a decade of Brangelina.
18** Similarly, the Creator/PrimeVideo series adaptation also went through major cast changes, with Creator/PhoebeWallerBridge set to play Mrs. Smith before bowing out over CreativeDifferences with co-star Creator/DonaldGlover. Creator/MayaErskine (''Series/PEN15'') would eventually take over the role.
