Stanley Anderson, who plays the President in this film is also uncredited as the President in The Rock (1996), another Michael Bay/Jerry Bruckheimer film. In both films there is a scene where he stands in silhouette against a bright window while contemplating a decision that would doom the heroes. This has led many to believe that the two films are connected.However, other actors are in both films but play different roles, so a connection is unlikely.
