Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released four months after 9/11, this was already being rewritten during production; the awkward timing tanked its reception.
The original villain was Colombian, not Middle Eastern—a last-minute pivot that still couldn't save it from feeling exploitative. This was meant to be Arnie's serious dramatic turn. The Academy did not call.
