Trivia

Nicole Kidman was originally cast as Mrs. Smith.

Johnny Depp was originally cast as John Smith, but turned it down after being overworked with other movies he was shooting.

Cate Blanchett was also considered for the role of Mrs. Smith.

Brad Pitt reportedly left the project after Nicole Kidman dropped out and her replacement had not yet been found. Once Angelina Jolie signed on, he returned to the project.

In order to get a wider PG-13 audience, a very steamy sex scene between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was cut.

Body count: 43

In the scene where John Smith is in his office a black suit with a white shirt and red tie can be seen hanging in the background. This is the same outfit worn by "Agent 47" in the popular Hitman game series.

After the Smiths discover each other's identities, Jane speeds away in the car and John is running after her. He ends up tripping and crashing through a fence, and his gun goes off. The trip was a mistake, and Brad Pitt's reaction, as well as his following ad-lib, "Oh dear God," are genuine.

Goofs

When John and Jane are in the elevator in the shoot-out in the "Home made" mall, they each carry a HK MP5, and the cocking handles on both are clearly in the retracted 'up' position, as they are when being reloaded. In this position it is not possible to fire the weapon, which they both clearly do the very next second. If they *were* reloading, they clearly would not just stand waiting with the weapons as they do.

In the final fight scene, whenever Jane and John are inside the home made elevator the lights are on. Every time the elevator doors open the lights inside it are turned off.

At the beginning at the fair, John buys two games for the shooting. Both he and Jane got five shots each. When Jane wanted to go again she shot a total of nine times.

Mr. Smith throws his suit coat into a mailbox when he realizes Mrs. Smith has placed a small bomb in it. Then the Smiths separately race back home. As they approach the house, in one shot, Mr. Smith is wearing his suit coat.

Towards the end of the movie, Mr. and Mrs. Smith are chased around at high speeds along highways in the greater New York City area. As they zip along one freeway, however, a sign appears on the side of the road. It reads: "Los Angeles City Limits".

When Jane and John are in the elevator in the Home Store at the end of the movie, a close-up of them shows many bullet holes on the back wall. When the elevator doors open and they run out, there are no bullet holes in the back of the elevator.

The first time we see Jane in her kitchen she is wearing a pink night gown. In the very next shot she is wearing a white nightgown.

During the highway chase scene when they run one of the cars off the road into the water barrels, the flash of a detonation charge that bursts the barrels can be seen a split second before they hit them.

In the movie, Bogotá, the capital of Colombia as a small town, when in reality Bogotá is one of the biggest and most populated cities in Latin America.

After their house blows up and they are stealing their neighbor’s car, you can hear sirens in the background as John backs the car out of the driveway. When a shooter tries to stop them, John backs into him and jumps out to steal the shooters gun and you no longer hear the sirens. Then when John gets back into the car and resumes backing out of the driveway, you can hear the sirens again.
