The Jackal: If you see Declan... before you die. You tell him that he can't protect his women. (01:26:25)
Preston: Look, this is a manhunt, not your cause. Don't make it personal.
Declan Mulqueen: What do you fucking know!? (01:13:30)
The Jackal: How many people know about this?
Terek Murad: You and I.
The Jackal: Keep it that way. (00:11:55)
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the movie, the Jackal tries to kill the first lady in Washington. This is where the hospital opening takes place. When he flees into the subway station, the name it has is indeed of a station in Washington (Capitol Heights), the subway-cars however are from the Montreal subway system (which ride around on rubber tyres). (01:45:10 - 01:47:55)
Trivia: Just a few months before his death at age 91, Fred Zinnermann, who directed the original The Day of the Jackal (1973), on which this movie is based, actually fought Universal Studios to change the name of the film. Saying that the original had stood the test of time and he did not want the remake to bear the same name. (00:01:25)
