The movie's title and plot are a reference to the CIA's secret research project called "MK Ultra". Although many people have heard of MK Ultra, it's often misunderstood. In reality it was a project to combine what the American government knew about mind control with what the Germans knew about this subject. The letters MK use the English word for "mind" and the German word for "control". MK = Mind Kontrolle. "Ultra" refers to the highest level of security classification. Its main purpose was to come up with ways to induce their subjects with MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder), and find out how these alter personalities could then be triggered on command (sometimes by simply uttering an innocuous phrase) to be utilized for other means which the subject generally would have no recollection of afterwards. The project began in 1953 after the American government had brought scientists from Nazi Germany to America under Operation Paperclip, and officially ended in 1973. Since then the project has continued under the name Monarch mind control.
Uma Thurman was cast but her deal never materialized and Sharon Stone replaced her. When "scheduling issues" caused Stone to drop out, Connie Britton stepped into the part.
Author Stephen King said via Twitter that he loved "American Ultra" and called it, "fresh and exciting. Very cool."
In the film Mr. Right (2015), another film written by Max Landis featuring an agent from the Ultra Program, there is a wedding reception for a couple named Mike and Phoebe.
"Mike Howell: You know what skives me out, Phoebe? Phoebe: What? Mike Howell: That car down there has moved so much. Like, it was built in a factory, you know, on a production line. And then it was like, shipped here. Phoebe: And then, like, this guy drove it all over the place. Mike Howell: Yeah, exactly. But all the time, like for years, or really for, like, decades really, this one tree has been sitting in this one place not doing anything until tonight when it, like, stopped the car. Phoebe: Yeah? Mike Howell: Okay, so this car is always going. And that tree is always just, like, stopping. You know? Like, it's just been stopping there for years until tonight when it met something that it didn't want to keep going, and it was just like, "mmm-mmm! No! You're stopping, too" [crying] Mike Howell: And then this tree that has never done anything is fucking, like, destroying this beautiful, really beautiful fast-moving thing. Phoebe: Why are you crying? Mike Howell: Because, Phoebe, like... am I that tree? Phoebe: No. No! Mike Howell: I think I'm that tree. And I think you're the car and I think I'm stopping you. Phoebe: You are not the tree. Mike Howell: Okay. Phoebe: I love you."
"Otis: We lost two assets attempting to neutralize Wiseman-designate Howell. Adrian Yates: How is that possible? Otis: He was armed with a spoon, sir."
