Trivia

Writer/director M. Night Shyamalan always had Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson in mind to play the roles of David Dunn and Elijah Price.

The glass cane that Elijah Price uses was Samuel L. Jackson's idea.

The film is shot as a series of long (very long, by Hollywood standards) tracking shots, often with stark shadows or unusual camera angles, to mimic the storyboard flow of a comic book.

Of all the films he's made, this is M. Night Shyamalan's personal favorite.

At a budget of $75 million, the film cost almost three times more money to make than both the sequels (Split (2016) and Glass (2019)) combined.
