Trivia
The dictator's antique car is a fiberglass replica of a 1936 C28 Avions Voisin built by D Tessier in Tours, France. Tessier is a well known restorer of Avions Voisin automobiles. Clive Cussler has a genuine 1936 Avions-Voisin, similar to the C28 that inspired the replica, in his Colorado museum. The chassis is 4WD with a 4.2 Jaguar engine and Rover gear box. It was designed by Steve Lamonby. The replica was completed in four months.

When Dirk and Al talk about an incident in the past where they rode camels in Morocco, actors Matthew McConaughey and Steve Zahn are actually in the Moroccan desert (depicting Mali).
Share this
Matthew McConaughey had traveled through Mali on his own long before the film went into preproduction; his experiences and personal photographs were used to get the look and story down.

Goofs
Al, Dirk and Eva get on the train one at a time and the guard at the end of the train sees the now-riderless camels one by one. While Eva is getting on the train, the scene switches to view from the rear of the train. All three camels are seen close together. Shortly thereafter, the scene switches again to the view from the train, and the camels are separated by some distance from each other. The camels would not have been that close together unless all three people had boarded the train simultaneously.

When Dirk is getting pulled over on the river he throws the soldiers a rope which they tie to the near side. When Al floors the yacht the rope is on the other side of the soldiers' boat, thus flipping the boat.

The Lagos Times is shown during the opening credits. The Lagos Times was created on November 10, 1880, by Richard Beale Blaize, and was made defunct in November 1883. Thereby making it impossible to be featured in the film.
