details

• The scene where Lulu tells Shane that she thinks he's cute and Shane's embarrassed response was based on a real life incident on set. Morgan York (the actress who plays Lulu), upon meeting Vin Diesel, actually said that to him and he awkwardly responded with a "thank you". The director thought it was so funny that he put it in the film.
  
  
• When Tate Donovan is tied up, the set used was actually in a cafeteria.
  
  
• In the first scene, the ocean is actually a huge swimming pool.

• The ninjas in the movie were from 'Jackie Chan' 's stunt team.
  
  
• The character name Julie Plummer is derived from the lead actors in The Sound of Music (1965), Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.
  
  
• When Shane is in Peter's room, before Lulu asks him about his "boobs", on the floor are letter blocks spelling out "One Race". One Race is the production company owned by Vin Diesel.
  
  
• An actual Navy SEAL was on set.

• SPOILER: The play at the end of the movie was shot in a local (Toronto) professional theater called Theatre Passe Murielle. Over four days, many scenes from The Sound of Music (1965) were shot, including "Do, Re, Mi", "My Favorite Things" and "The Lonely Goatherder". These scenes were fully staged, choreographed and costumed. Some of the costumes came from the original "Sound of Music" film. In the end, almost all of it ended up on the cutting room floor.
  
  
• SPOILER: When Morgan York and her troop fight the enemies, the crew used a 14-year-old girl to do the cartwheels.
