Trivia
While filming the White House tourist scenes in Louisiana, the weather was so hot that the Humane Society representative insisted that the German Shepherds playing K-9 watchdogs stay in an air-conditioned van between shoots.
Quotes
Mike Banning:
You're going to seriously try to rope-a-dope me? That's an old man's move.
President Benjamin Asher:
I am an old man.
Mike Banning:
No, you're not. But you box like one.
Goofs
During the initial ground fight on the North lawn (31:00) Mike shoots a female sniper in the head. While we see the impact and blood through her hat on her left temple, when her hat falls off the bullet wound is on her right temple.
Alternate Versions
The edited for TNT/TBS cable TV version aside from the usual language and violence edits most notably hackneys its edit for the part where Mike (Gerard Butler) stabs Kang (Rick Yune) in the head. Instead, the viewer witnesses Mike about to stab and then it cuts straight to Kang's body ceasing to move making it unclear that Kang was stabbed let alone where.
