Trivia

According to director David Ayer, Sabotage was heavily cut by the studio in favor of delivering more of an action-based film rather than a mystery thriller. The original cut was rumored to be close to 3 hours.

The Beastie Boys, Mike D and Adam Horovitz, turned down a request to use their 1994 song "Sabotage" in promos for the film. In his will, Adam Yauch prohibited the use of his music in advertisements.

Arnold Schwarzenegger greatly disliked the haircut he had to wear for this film.

In the scene where Breacher is typing in statistics at his desk, the pictures of his family above his computer are actual pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger's family. Pictures of Patrick Schwarzenegger are visible.

The plot was loosely based on Agatha Christie's classic novel "And Then There Were None".
