Did you know

• In an interview co-writer William Applegate Jr. states Anna Nicole Smith "was in the worst, drug-addled part of her life" during filming of 'Skyscraper'. "She'd also go missing for an hour and Martino [the director] would go missing for an hour. They'd send a PA off to go look for them and discover him going down on her in the trailer. In the middle of production! It was just ridiculous."

• A revised edition of the film exists which removes all sequences containing nudity to accommodate television broadcast standards.

• The plot of Skyscraper heavily borrows from the 1988 blockbuster Die Hard, reworking the premise of a lone hero against terrorists in a high-rise building, but with a female helicopter pilot as the protagonist.
