Trivia:

Anthony Mackie put on 17 pounds of muscle for the role and bulked up to 213 pounds. He had only 3 weeks to train before filming began.

Dwayne Johnson bulked up to nearly 300 pounds for his role.

Michael Bay delayed making this film multiple times in favor of the Transformers series. He specifically said he wanted to make a small inexpensive film as a change of pace.

At just over 20 million dollars, the film stands as Michael Bay's lowest-budgeted film since his feature film debut Bad Boys. He, Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson took pay cuts to keep the budget down.

For his role as a body builder, 'Mark Wahlberg' bulked up to 212 pounds for this film.

Michael Bay's first R-rated movie since Bad Boys II.
