The scenes in the film span 13 countries. On August 2, 2004, the "King of War" crew was officially launched in New York. In the first few days, they filmed many scenes in Manhattan and Coney Island's Brighton Beach. The crew took only 9 days to shoot the location of the United States, and then rushed to Cape Town, South Africa to start a 10-week high-load work. As the local public security was a headache, many worries followed, but the director Andrew still decided to stop there. The construction of street scenes in Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, turned out that the scenes in the film are almost fake. In November, the crew moved to the Czech Republic, where they completed the filming of some Eastern European backgrounds in the film, and a local former Soviet military base was also fully utilized.

Yuri Orlov: [to Jack, sitting on a small wooden crate] Can I go now? You got nothing on me. Except cuffs.

Jack Valentine: Since you're so concerned with the law, you must know that I am legally permitted to hold you for 24 hours without charging you. You might ask why I would do that, and I can assure you it's not because I enjoy your company, because I don't. No. The reason why I will delay you for every second of the permissible 24 hours is I'm delaying your deadly trade and the deaths of your victims. I don't think of it as taking a day away from you, but giving a day to them. Some innocent man, woman or child is going to have an extra day on this Earth because you're not free. So I will see you in... 23 hours and 55 minutes.
