Trivia
When Brion James was originally hired to play Requin, it was a very small role with only two lines.
In an effort to give the character something that would make him stand out, James decided to speak in a horrible "cockney" accent.
Sylvester Stallone loved it, and re-wrote the script to give Requin a much bigger role.
The same thing happened with Face, played by Robert Z'Dar, who was originally not meant to appear after the opening scene but Sylvester Stallone and Andrey Konchalovskiy took a liking to Z'Dar and thought his appearance was so striking he deserved a larger role in the film.
Goofs
At the beginning of the movie when the truck is bearing down on Tango and he fires at the truck, the windshield "spiderwebs", as it should, since it would be safety glass.
However, when the two men fly through the windshield after the truck is stopped, there are no bullet holes in it and it is clearly a plate glass windshield (due to how it shatters).
