The method by which the dragons expel fire was inspired by two actual animals: the spitting cobra and bombardier beetle.
It was filmed in Ireland, in the Wicklow Mountains. They were only allowed to film there under the condition that they clean up entirely after themselves, without damaging the landscape.
In an interview with the AV Club in 2015, Alexander Siddig (Ajay) said, "The only thing I remember about that was the first day. The first A.D. came into the trailer where we were all having our makeup and shit done, and he was, like 'Guys, I need your attention, please.' And we were, like 'Yeah?' And he said, 'Um, Mr. McConaughey's gonna arrive on set in about 15 minutes, and I have to give you a directive - which comes from the producers - that you are not to call him 'Matthew' or 'Mr. McConaughey' or anything to do with his real life. You must call him Van Zan.' Van Zan was his character name. 'And even if you meet him outside in the road, even if you meet him out in town in Dublin,' where we were shooting this movie, 'You must call him Van Zan.' And that is exactly what I remember about that movie, because as that first A.D. left the building, I shouted - rather lamely - 'And he's got to call me Elvis!' But he didn't call me Elvis. In fact, he didn't call me anything!"
Christian Bale originally planned to be really skinny and scrawny for the film, figuring that in a post-apocalyptic landscape, food wouldn't be so readily available so most people would lose drastic amounts of weight. But when he showed up for filming and saw how bulked up Matthew McConaughey had become, he had to change his mind and hit the gym. Considering the two have an intensive fight scene in the film, Bale reckoned it would look more evenly matched and therefore more realistic if the two men were of similar build.
The preview claims that the film is set in 2084, yet the movie itself gives the date as 2020 AD.
"[referring to the dragons] Denton Van Zan: Ever see a male? Quinn Abercromby: When I'm running for my life I generally don't look back at the plumbing."
"Denton Van Zan: Envy the country that has heroes, huh? I say pity the country that needs them."
