Film Fetish trivia:
Val Kilmer was in negotiations to play a detective, but later turned down the role due to schedule conflicts with the film Alexander.

Adam Sandler almost played the role of Max before Jamie Foxx got the part.

Collateral was originally set in New York City, but when Michael Mann got the project, he changed the setting to Los Angeles.

There are no opening credits to Collateral, nor title for the movie.

Edward Norton and Colin Farrell were both offered the role of Vincent, before Tom Cruise came on board the project.

Tom Cruise’s full name is Vincent Collateral in the movie, and the original title for the movie was Mr. Collateral. During pre-production, producers removed the lines where Vincent declares his last name and shortened the title of the movie to simply Collateral.
