What's left behind the scenes
- For the filming of this movie, actresses Queen Latifah and Gisele Bündchen underwent two months of training in dangerous driving.
- The role of the robber Vanessa is Gisele Bündchen's debut in a major motion picture.
- Initially, the studio offered Luc Besson the director's position, but he limited himself to producer and screenwriter roles. Ultimately, Tim Story directed the film.
- Queen Latifah performed many of the stunts in the film herself, while Gisele Bündchen required a stunt double for most scenes.
- In the initial version of the script, the robbers were not supposed to survive. However, when Luc Besson learned of the screenwriters' intentions, he personally rewrote the script.
- In the film, actor Jimmy Fallon demonstrates no ability to drive. However, in real life, the actor learned to drive at the age of fourteen.
