Production
Jean-Claude Van Damme was personally offered a role by Stallone, but turned it down.[3] This reportedly lead to Dolph Lundgren being cast instead. The role accepted by Couture was originally conceived as a role for Wesley Snipes but later rewritten for Couture.[4] Due to a scheduling conflict prior to filming, Forest Whitaker was replaced by Curtis Jackson for the role of Hale Casear[1], who was then in turn replaced by former NFL player Terry Crews.[5] Filming locations include Brazil, Los Angeles, California and New Orleans, Louisiana.[2]
