Since Jamie Foxx had recently won an Academy Award for 2004’s Ray, the actor had some strange demands due to an inflated ego. His first demand he was to get paid more than his co-star, Colin Farrell. Second, he simply refused to shoot any scene that would take place on a boat or plane.

After hearing a gunshot in the Dominican Republic, the actor refused to shoot the planned ending in Paraguay. The film studio rewrote the final moments to take place in America instead.
