- TriviaWhen director Peter Berg was trying to get Marcus Luttrell to assist with the making of the movie Lone Survivor, Berg told Luttrell to watch his movie The Kingdom, and if he didn't like it, Berg said he would not bother Luttrell again.
- GoofsIn the intro sequence, the film says that oil was discovered in 1933 by accident and that the ARAMCO was founded as the first union between Saudi Arabia and the United States in 1938. In reality, the dates are switched. The company was founded by Chevron in 1933 and the same company later discovered oil in 1938.
- Quotes
Attorney General Gideon Young: I'm gonna bury you.
FBI Director James Grace: You know, Westmoreland made all of us officers write our own obituaries during Tet, when we thought The Cong were gonna end it all right there. And, once we clued into the fact that life is finite, the thought of losing it didn't scare us anymore. The end comes no matter what, the only thing that matters is how do you wanna go out, on your feet or on your knees? I bring that lesson to this job. I act, knowing that someday this job will end, no matter what. You should do the same.
