Directed by: Peter Berg

Revealing mistake: The car that falls into the water has a surprising lack of damage after such a long tumble.
Revealing mistake: During the scene where Travis is pinned down by Hatcher's men inside the bus in the town square, there is a brief cut to one of the sharpshooters, whose shoulder patch is reversed. (01:21:55)
Continuity mistake: Beck walks into a bar in the middle of a jungle and soon engages in a conversation with Mariana who is sitting at the end of the bar nursing an orange juice/soda while reading a book. She almost finishes her drink when Beck complains to her that where he comes from "there are bartenders." She then moves over to the bar, taking the almost empty glass with her, and proceeds to serve Beck a beer. When the camera switches angle and zooms in to Beck, slowly cutting Mariana out of view, she's seen taking another sip of orange drink, but now the glass is about half full. (00:21:00)
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Have fun.
Trivia: The film's original title was "Helldorado." It was then changed to "Welcome to the Jungle," before being changed again to "The Rundown." It's still "Welcome to the Jungle" in Europe, possibly because "The Rundown" sounds like it refers to a car accident, whereas in the US it would be more readily associated with a bounty hunter.
Question: Beck says he never uses weapons. Is this because The Rock is anti-gun like the three new Charlie's Angels?
Answer: Yes, he says so in the movie. He explains that it gets too messy. Also, it shows that he is stronger than using an easy weapon like a gun. People like to see fist fighting, rather than gun fighting.
