Trivia: The shots of Jamie Leigh Curtis hanging beneath the helicopter were pick up shots - it was mostly stuntwoman Donna Keegan. Cameron wanted an actual shot of Jamie Leigh Curtis - she had to be convinced to do her own stunt for it, with Cameron offering to hang out of the helicopter with the camera to get the shot. It was filmed on her 35th birthday.
Trivia: In the scene when Arnold has rescued Jamie Lee Curtis from the limo and she is flying over the ocean from Arnold's hand, Curtis is actually the one doing that stunt.
Trivia: In the English version, when Arnold speaks to the chef in the opening sequence, he speaks French. In the French version it would be redundant for him to speak French, so he speaks German and of course it's him speaking. (00:04:50)
Trivia: When Gibson is bringing up Juno Skinner's information on the computer at the beginning, it says she was born in 1959. But in reality, Tia Carrere was born in 1967. I wonder if she was insulted that the producers thought she looked almost ten years older than she actually was? (00:08:35)
Trivia: The place where Jamie Lee Curtis meets Bill Paxton is the same place where the T-1000 arrives in Terminator 2. Coincidently, another movie Arnold was in and James Cameron directed.
Trivia: The sequence on the bridge toward the end was actually filmed in the Florida Keys on Seven Mile Bridge. The bridge had to be closed down for hours during filming, so long lines of cars had to wait patiently for extended periods of time. As a way of apologizing for the inconvenience, between shots James Cameron and the stars of the film walked up and down the highway handing out bumper stickers bearing the Omega Sector seal and proclaiming, "I was held hostage on Seven-Mile Bridge."
Trivia: Art Malik got the job to play the lead Jihad terrorist because James Cameron was impressed with his portrayal of the muhajehdeen leader in "The Living Daylights." Coincidentally, the Taliban and a number of Islamic extremist Jihad groups have their roots in the muhajehdeen.
Trivia: The hotel chase and horse in the elevator scenes were actually filmed in two hotels in Los Angeles as opposed to Washington D.C. where the film was set. The building with the elevators is the Westin hotel near downtown, and the lobby chase was filmed at the now-demolished Ambassador on Wilshire.
Trivia: The helicopter pilot who says "Yeah, she's got her head in his lap...yahoo!" is the film's director, James Cameron.
Trivia: Jamie Lee Curtis at one point says "I married Rambo." Director James Cameron wrote the story for Rambo: First Blood Part II.
