In filming the scene where Chris Vaughn smashes and breaks the tail light of Jay Hamilton's Porsche, Dwayne Johnson actually broke the car's tail light with his stick. (He was only supposed to pretend to break the tail light, with a "smashing glass" sound effect to be added later, in post-production.) After breaking the tail light, Johnson suddenly remembered that the Porsche was a rental car, which had been rented for one day to film that specific scene. He called over to his director, "Uh, Kevin, did we just buy this $90,000 Porsche?" Director Kevin Bray replied, through his megaphone, "Yes, thanks, Rock!" In the film, you can see actress Cobie Smulders sitting next to Neal McDonough in the Porsche. Her reactive flinch is genuine when Johnson smashes the tail light.
