Trivia / Sniper

• California Doubling: The first film was set in Central America, but much of it was shot in Northern Queensland; the lost hotel was Paronella park and the rail insertion scene was filmed on the Cairns-Kuranda Railway, which looks rather ridiculous if you think about it, as the Panama Railroad seen in the film was built to Old Russian (5') gauge at the time, and was since rebuilt to Standard Gauge (4' 8 1/2"), while the Queensland Government Railways vehicles the characters de-train from were, and would always have been, Cape gauge (3'6").
• Milestone Celebration: The tenth installment, G.R.I.T., released in 2023, the 30th anniversary of the film series.
• The Other Darrin: Sayaka Akimoto, who portrays Lady Death in Assassin's End and Rogue Mission, was replaced with Luna Fujimoto in G.R.I.T.
• Sequel Gap: The original movie wasn't meant to be a series, hence the sequel taking nearly a decade to release. After the third movie, there would be another six and a half year wait for Reloaded to release as the series Retooled itself to make Brandon Beckett the main character. The movies have kept to a consistent release schedule every two to three years since then.
• Underage Casting: As of G.R.I.T., Lady Death is played by Luna Fujimoto, who was born in 2002 and was only 21 years old at the time of the film's release. The character's exact age isn't revealed, but G.R.I.T. confirms she is well over the age of 25. The original actress for the role, Sayaka Akimoto, is 14 years older than Fujimoto and was 31 and 34 respectively when the movies she played the character in were released, suggesting that Lady Death is supposed to be in her 30s.
