Movie Trivia/Goofs

Greta Scacchi played Bob Barnes' wife and Robby Barnes' mother in a role cut from the final release.
Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: When Bob is being tortured, he is knocked sideways while tied to the chair. He lands on his left side facing Jimmy, but the Point of View shots for Bob are shot as if he's lying on his right side facing Jimmy. It could be the shots were flopped for some reason, but most likely the second unit just misunderstood how Bob would be lying on the ground.
In the original draft of the script, the character of Bob Barnes was originally named Bob Baer, after Robert Baer's father.
George Clooney gained 35 pounds on a pasta-heavy diet to play CIA operative Robert Barnes. The actor also shaved his hairline for the right look.
