- Directed two James Bond actors in their respective debuts: Pierce Brosnan in GoldenEye (1995) and Daniel Craig in Casino Royale (2006). Campbell had cameo appearances in both films.
- Was approached by Tom Cruise to direct Top Gun: Maverick (2022), but turned it down as at 75 he thought he was too old to direct an action thriller of that scale and that it should be directed by a much younger director.
- Has two sons, Fabrice Campbell and Tomas Campbell, and a daughter, Elina Campbell.
- Most of his movies are shot by cinematographer Phil Meheux.
- He was asked to direct Demain ne meurt jamais (1997), but he didn't want to direct two James Bond films in a row, so he made Le Masque de Zorro (1998) instead. He was also asked to direct Le monde ne suffit pas (1999), Meurs un autre jour (2002) and Quantum of Solace (2008), but turned them down.
- He almost remade Le Cid (1961) under Arthur Sarkissian's deal with MGM in the 2000's.
