Silent Night (2023) marks John Woo's American directorial comeback, making it the first American film he directed since Paycheck (2003).
During filming, in March 2022, a special effects assistant was injured in a stunt trial run in Mexico City. The crew member was hit by a car, breaking his femur and dislocating his shoulder.
With the exception of background dialogue (music and news radio), the film only has a few lines a dialogue in its entirety.
The fictional Police precinct is called "Las Palomas," Spanish for "The Doves," which director John Woo is known to include in slow motion scenes.
Star Joel Kinnaman serves as an executive producer on the film, making it his first non-acting credit.
