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.
Star Joel Kinnaman serves as an executive producer on the film, making it his first non-acting credit.
The fictional Police precinct is called "Las Palomas", Spanish for "The Doves", which director John Woo is known to include in slow motion scenes.
