Trivia
The crew filmed at Navy training sites to provide realistic settings, such as a drug cartel base, a terrorist camp on an isolated island, and a smuggler's yacht.

The film was mostly shot digitally on the Canon Eos 5d mk2; a decision made between the directors and D.O.P Shane Hurlbut to both save a vast amount of money on the budget and use the size and weight advantage of the 5d to capture the stunning action sequences. Hurlbut, who is an advocate of the HDSLR shooting system used a large number of the cameras, each fitted with a different lens system that stayed in place for most of the film.

Some the scenes depicted are based on real events, such as the SEAL at the end shot over a dozen times and surviving, the SEAL getting shot in the eye, the rescuing of the CIA agent and other various scenes.

Goofs
At the beginning of the film, the spelling for the International School shall be 'Sekolah Internasional' instead of 'Seolah Internasional'; which is an Indonesian or Malay language not Philippines.
Share this
Motorcycle plate numbers in the Philippines comprise a 4-digit number followed by 2 letters. And though the ice cream truck bears a correct plate number convention for 4-wheel vehicles (3-letter and 3 number), the color of the plate is red, which is issued for government/official vehicles only.

All of the RPG missiles fired in the movie have red painted tips, signifying they they are inert dummy rounds.

Quotes
Chief Dave: [getting ready to jump] I tell you what, the only thing better than this right here is being a dad. Except for that whole changing diaper thing. 1 of 1 found this interesting Interesting?

Kerimov: [showing explosive vest] Believe me, there are few weapons in the world which a single man can operate that are more deadly.

Christo: You know, from time to time, I get to see my old friends from my old life. And it's always, always disappointing. Some become assholes, others boring, and I can't believe I tried to get them in bed all those years ago.

Faq
Q
Does Chief Dave lose his thumb in the final firefight?
A
Yes and no, we see it shot off and hanging by a strip of flesh in the final confrontation but later at the funeral and whilst writing the letter we see that he still has it. Presumably it must have been surgically re-attached.
Q
What are the differences between the International Version and the Original Version?
A
Several alterations were made for the International Version of the movie: some of the footage was either cut out or re-dubbed for international markets which mitigates the movie's message. Sometimes you even have the exact same dialogue happening during an entirely different shot. Mostly the off-screen comments were changed but there are also five altered scenes resulting in a time difference of almost 1 minute between both versions. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
Q
What does some of their slang mean?
A
Fast rope=rappel from a helicopter using a rope Frag=fragmentation grenade HAHO=high altitude, high opening (parachuting and opening the canopy at a high altitude to allow a long stealthy approach to a distant target) HALO=high altitude, low opening (free falling from a high altitude and opening the canopy at the last minute to allow a rapid stealth approach directly onto a target) JSOC=Joint Special Operations Command LAW=one shot disposable anti-armour rocket M-4=standard assault rifle used by the SEALs Overwatch=SEAL commander and sniper observing at a distance in order to provide support and command and control to SEALs in action. QRF=quick reaction force Raven=small remote controlled drone used for forwards reconaissance RPG=rocket propelled grenade, Soviet era anti-armour weapon. SDV=swimmer delivery vehicle, mini submarine which deploys SEALs from the SSGN Squirters=terrorist suspects fleeing scene SSGN=nuclear submarine optimized for special operations, equipped with cruise missiles and able to carry an SDV attached to its' deck SWIFT boat=small, heavily armed boats manned by Special Warfare Combat Crews used to support SEALs Task Force 160/Nightstalkers=Army Special Aviation Regiment flying helicopters in support of SEAL's and Delta Force.
