- When actor Tamia Liu received the film invitation, the director dismissed her as being too young, and the age difference between the characters in the film was too large, but in order to stay as close to the film characters as possible, she deliberately dyed a lot of white hair, wrinkles and age spots during filming.
- There are a lot of action scenes in the film, but Jackie Chan had a muscle injury and he was directly hospitalized for surgery. The doctor told him that he could not continue filming the scene for six months, but Jackie Chan came to film the next day and insisted on completing the film. Shooting plan.
- The director of the film, Martin Campbell, is very serious and takes care of everything by himself. The set is harsh and almost harsh, and there shouldn't be any noise on the scene to disturb the actor, and curse whenever there is a noise, so the staff are usually tricky .
The Foreigner behind the scenes gags
-
Liam Hennessy: You killed my dog.
Quan Ngoc Minh: Dog's fine. Just sleeping.

Quan Ngoc Minh: [opens coat] I'm wearing a bomb. Anyone comes in, I touch it one, then we die. Now, give me the names.
Liam Hennessy: They claim to be IRA, but I don't know who they really are. I'm doin' everything I can to find out who's responsible.
Quan Ngoc Minh: [puts gun to Hennessy's head] You're lying! Who killed my daughter?
Liam Hennessy: I'm sorry! I truly don't know yet!
Quan Ngoc Minh: [pause] The explosive the bombers use, it's Semtex-H?
Liam Hennessy: [nervous] Yes. Yes. You know about Semtex?
Quan Ngoc Minh: I know Semtex-H. During the war Czechs make for the army. Good for bombs and traps.
Liam Hennessy: In Vietnam?
Quan Ngoc Minh: Yes. Many American people died by Semtex-H. Now, IRA use to kill my daughter. That's ironic.
Liam Hennessy: I've read your history. We both know about war. We've both tried to put it behind us. You and me, we're alike.
Quan Ngoc Minh: [backhands Hennessy in the face] We are NOTHING alike. You're NOTHING! You kill women and children! NAMES!
Liam Hennessy: To Almighty God, I don't know!
Quan Ngoc Minh: [cocks the gun]
Liam Hennessy: WAIT! Wait! I've set a trap for them when they use the next bomb. When they claim responsibility for the next bombing, they'll use a code word, telling the police they're IRA. I've changed that code word. So when they use it, I'll know.
Quan Ngoc Minh: [lowers the gun] You have one day.
Liam Hennessy: ...what if they don't set off a bomb by then?
Quan Ngoc Minh: Twenty-four hours.
[leaves]
Liam Hennessy: ...Jesus. Oh, Jesus, sweet Jesus.
