Charlie tells Reese that his one vice is a Royale with cheese. In the movie Pulp Fiction, John Travolta tells Samuel L. Jackson that in France, a Quarter Pounder is called a Royale with cheese.

This is a spy genre film and it is interesting to note that the title of the earlier film París de mis amores (1955) is said to have been the inspiration for James Bond creator Ian Fleming for the title of his 1957 James Bond spy novel, "From Russia With Love" which was later made into the film El regreso del agente 007 (1963).

The car chase was filmed on a new motorway outside of the town of Annecy which had yet to be opened to the public.

The fact of not having traffic on that direction was previously justified as having the highway locked for the arrival of the diplomatic convoy.

When Caroline enters James' apartment you can clearly see the book 'Nikita' which was written and directed by Luc Besson, who wrote "From Paris with Love".

Both this film and El regreso del agente 007 (1963) feature a scene where an agent must finish a game of chess after being summoned by their handlers.
