- Casting Gag: Just the fact that Metalstorm ultimately ends up casting Jason Momoa as the lead is this if only for his role as part of the main cast of Dune (2021), which inspires this In-Universe fictional production.
- Cast the Expert: Given the film centers on a stuntman, it is very fitting that former stuntman David Leitch would direct.
- Playing Against Type: Emily Blunt usually plays dramatic roles, Action Girl characters or otherwise presenting herself as very confident and in charge. The movie is an action romantic comedy where Jody may be the director of the Film Within a Film but is also overstressed, trying to bury a fundamentally dorky personality and hide her lingering affection towards Cole. A scene where Cole approaches her in costume and she beats the hell out of him is a bit more in line with her previous roles.
- Production Posse: The film reunites David Leitch with several of his past collaborators - screenwriter Drew Pierce (Hobbs & Shaw), cinematographer Jonathan Sela (John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, Hobbs & Shaw, and Bullet Train), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Bullet Train), and composer Dominic Lewis (Bullet Train and the Leitch-produced Violent Night).
