According to writer and director Andrew Niccol, the filmmakers worked with actual gunrunners in the making of this movie. The tanks lined up for sale were real, and belonged to a Czech arms dealer, who had to have them back to sell to another country. They used a real stockpile of over three thousand AK-47s, because it was cheaper than getting prop guns.
No U.S. studio would back this movie. International finances were secured instead.
Yuri Orlov is a composite of five real arms dealers.
Before shooting the scene where tanks were lined up for sale, the filmmakers had to warn N.A.T.O., lest they thought a real war was being started when they saw satellite images of the set.
The character of Andre Baptiste is loosely based on famous warlord and ex-leader of Liberia, Charles Taylor.
