Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kassovitz publicly disowned the theatrical cut, claiming Fox chopped 70 minutes and destroyed his vision. The original novel 'Babylon Babies' by Maurice G. Dantec is significantly more coherent.
The infamous CGI submarine chase was added entirely in post-production after disastrous test screenings. Kassovitz wanted a philosophical thriller; the studio wanted 'xXx in the snow.'
