    • This is Brian Helgelands version of Payback (1999/I). Helgeland was replaced by John Myhre as director after Helgeland was fired from the original.
    • Music editor Scott Stambler was involved in the theatrical cut, and was brought in to try and reedit Chris Boardmans music from that version of the film into the Directors cut.

    • Deborah Kara Unger broke two ribs in the scene where Mel Gibson beats her. She was stated that she was having fun flying around and getting slammed into things and did one too many.
