What's left behind the scenes
- Throughout the film, Dwayne Johnson wears a fanny pack, which is the subject of constant ridicule. In this way, the filmmakers pay homage to a popular internet meme from the 1990s, which features Johnson sporting such a bag.
- The second spy comedy in Dwayne Johnson’s acting career. The first was Peter Segal’s “Get Smart” (2008).
- Filming began on May 6, 2015.
- The second film in Jason Bateman’s acting career where he plays a former tormentor of the main character. The first was Joel Edgerton’s thriller “The Gift” (2015).
- The first film to star the duo of Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart.
- When the characters played by Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson meet, the first tells the second that he resembles Hercules. In 2014, Brett Ratner's film "Hercules" was released, starring Johnson in the title role.
- In the film "Central Intelligence," Aaron Paul repeats his famous phrase "Say my name!" from the crime drama series "Breaking Bad" (2008-2013).
- Dwayne Johnson is 33 centimeters taller and 45 kilograms heavier than Kevin Hart.
- Meghan Park, who plays a bartender, starred in the dramatic television series "Secret Life of the American Teenager" (2008-2013), where she played a Christian and member of a chastity group at a local church. Molly Ringwald, who starred in John Hughes' teen comedy "Sixteen Candles" (1984), where Dwayne Johnson's character is in love with her character, also appeared in the same series.
- The first joint project of “Warner Bros.” and “Universal Pictures” since the release of Jan de Bont’s disaster film “Twister” in 1996.
- When Kevin Hart's character tries to shoot Aaron Paul's character, he runs out of bullets in his gun and throws it at Aaron Paul. Paul catches the gun, inserts a new magazine, and reloads, with a shell casing ejecting from the pistol. The casing should have ejected immediately after the shot.
- Kevin Hart's character mentions Tim Story's comedy "Barbershop" (2002), starring rapper and actor Ice Cube. Hart and Cube worked together on "Ride Along" (Tim Story, 2013) and its sequel, "Ride Along 2" (Tim Story, 2016).
