Trivia

Olivier Megaton's real name is Olivier Fontana; he chose 'Megaton' because he was born the year France tested its first atomic bomb. Subtle.

Cultural

This film cemented Liam Neeson's unlikely late-career pivot to action star—he was 60 when this released and would headline four more Taken-adjacent thrillers.
