Trivia / Cold Pursuit

• Completely Different Title:
  • In France, the film was called Sang froid ("Cold Blood").
  • In Quebec it went a step further with Pursuite de sang-froid ("Pursuit of Cold Blood").
  • The German title is actually "Hard Powder".
  • The Italian title is Un uomo tranquillo ("A Quiet Man").
  • In Latin America, the film is called Venganza ("Revenge").
  • The European Spanish title is Venganza bajo cero ("Subzero Revenge").
• Playing Against Type: Liam Neeson plays a character with all the same motivation as his typical badass roles, but is woefully inept at actually following through on it.
• Self-Remake: Hans Petter Moland directed both this film and the original Norwegian film In Order of Disappearance.
• The Shelf of Movie Languishment: The movie was filmed in 2017, yet wasn't released until 2019.
• Star-Derailing Role: The film appears to have stunted Liam Neeson's career, not just by underperforming, but also with a dark memory from his past that inspired his performance. Mistaken for Racist doesn't even begin to describe the controversy that followed his comments about an attempt to avenge the rape of his sister, and even his clarifying how it went down on Good Morning America (read: he ultimately came to his senses and sought help, and he said he would've done the same thing in a Scottish, British, or Lithuanian community if his sister said a Scot, Brit, or Lithuanian was responsible and he asked his sister for a physical description of her attacker other than race) didn't do much to quell the controversy and help this film's chances.
