TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This movie is based on the TV show of the same name that ran from 1966-1973.
• Screenwriter Robert Towne said that his script was written around action scenes that John Woo requested be in the movie.
• Due to his role in this movie Dougray Scott had to abandon his role as Wolverine in X-Men because shooting went over schedule.
• Oliver Stone was originally scheduled to direct this film, but had to pull out after Tom Cruise committed to a long shoot with Stanley Kubrick in Eyes Wide Shut.
• The first cut of this film was over three and a half hours long, the studio gave the film back to John Woo and told him the film could not exceed two hours.
• In the scene where the knife stops just before hitting Cruise's eye, Cruise insisted that a real knife be used and that it stop exactly three quarters of an inch from his eye despite Woo insisting it could stop just near his eye. As a result a cable was built and measured to exactly enough length to stop three quarters of an inch away from Cruise's eye. In addition to using a real knife, Cruise instructed Dougray Scott to stab at his eye using all of his force so it would look real.
