Anecdotes

Cody Banks : Agent secret (2003) director Harald Zwart quit after disagreeing with the studio over the amount of budget allocated to the film (only $1 million more than the first film). Zwart wanted to use a lot of CGI effects which would have brought the budget up to about $30 million, a figure that MGM deemed to be too high.

Hannah Spearritt wanted her character and Cody Banks to be an item, but this idea was nixed by the producers.

Frankie Muniz was paid $5 million for reprising his role as Cody Banks : Agent secret (2003), $3 million more than the original.

Frankie Muniz underwent two months of martial arts training before filming began.
