Aaron Eckhart broke his arm while filming a stunt. He never missed a day of work because of it.
Aaron Eckhart said, out of all the movies he has made, this was the most fun, yet toughest, one to make. He went on to say that he would love to return for a sequel and would like it to be set in Paris, France.
In an interview, Michelle Rodriguez claimed the extensive physical training required for her role gave her "a great set of abs for 'Machete.'"
Marines from Camp Pendleton helped train the actors for their roles, educating them in the Marine lifestyle. A number of actual marines also appear as extras in the film. To thank them, a sneak preview of the film was shown at Camp Pendleton on March 3rd, 2011.
The film is inspired by the real-life incident known as the Battle of Los Angeles, during World War II. On the night of 24-25 February 1942, unidentified aircraft were allegedly spotted in the airspace above Los Angeles. Suspecting it to be the Japanese, a blackout of the city was ordered and over 1,440 rounds of anti-aircraft ammunition was fired. Upon finding no evidence of the existence of any enemy aircraft, the incident was declared to be a "false alarm". The event has since been chalked up as a result of "war nerves", likely triggered by a lost weather balloon and exacerbated by stray flares and shell bursts from adjoining anti-aircraft batteries.
