• Charlize Theron trained extensively for the film with professional climber Beth Rodden, performing many of her own climbing sequences. Rodden is known for elite ascents, including the Meltdown crack in Yosemite National Park.
• Charlize Theron said this is her favorite movie she's ever made. "In thirty years, I've made a lot of movies, and I've loved all of them for different reasons, but there's something about this movie: the way we shot it, where we shot it, the time in my life when I needed to go and find something where I could just immerse myself into a world. This movie was everything that I wanted, and then the end result was everything that I hoped for before we went to go do it."
• Sasha is shown carrying "capsicum" (pepper) spray, although it is generally illegal for civilian possession in Australia, where much of the film is set.
