Wesley Snipes' character is mistaken for Arsenio Hall. In an episode of Martial Law (1998), Arsenio's character is mistaken for Wesley, and the woman who does so says "I loved you in 'Passenger 57!' "
Partially filmed in Central Florida, Wesley Snipes spoke at his former Orlando high school (Jones High) offering paid roles as extras to students with high grade point averages. The students that met this requirement were placed on a list and randomly selected from that list and can be seen portraying attendees in a carnival scene as John Cutter searches the crowd in pursuit of the terrorists.
This was originally a vehicle for Sylvester Stallone but he turned it down. However, just for fun, the script writer named one of the major characters, "Sly".
The original draft of the screenplay set the action at night; it was changed to a daylight story setting to save money.
There were no stunt doubles used for the final fight between Cutter and Rane. Wesley Snipes and Bruce Payne insisted on doing the scene themselves despite the protests of the producers, but director Kevin Hooks insisted, as well.
"John Cutter: Charlie, ever played roulette? Charles Rane: On occasion. John Cutter: Well, let me give you a word of advice. Always bet on black!"
"John Cutter: I'm the good guy, I'm the head of security. Chief Biggs: In my position what would you do? If you were me what would you do? John Cutter: Kill myself."
