Did you know

• When he was asked what it was like working with Wesley Snipes on this film, Ryan Reynolds said sincerely that "I never met Wesley Snipes on this film, not for a second. I only met Blade." 20 years later, Reynolds reached out to Snipes personally to portray Blade in Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) which Snipes accepted. During Blade's cameo, a comment is made referring to their characters in this film in which Blade tells Deadpool, "I don't like you." To which Deadpool nonchalantly responds, "You never did."

• Jessica Biel inadvertently destroyed a camera, costing more than $300,000, when she fired an arrow directly into the camera's lens. She was directed to "aim for the camera", which had a Plexiglas shield in front of it to protect it, except for a small opening in front of the lens. Biel had perfected her archery skills while training for this role to such a degree that when she fired the arrow - at a distance of approximately 50 feet - at the camera, as she was directed, it went directly through the lens and into the camera itself, destroying it. The footage of the incident is included in the DVD extras.

• One of the television commercials for the film was recalled after one day of airing because it accidentally credited Jessica Biel as Jessica Alba.
