- Author Stephenie Meyer once believed Breaking Dawn could not be filmed at all, because the character Renesmee is an infant with complete awareness that no actress could play, though she allowed that advancing technology might eventually make it possible.
- While filming in Rio de Janeiro, Summit Entertainment paid nearby residents 50 to 500 reais to keep paparazzi and fans from watching through their windows, and paid bar and restaurant owners 10,000 to 20,000 reais to close for the night to keep the street quiet.
- Filming in Vancouver was interrupted when the cast and crew were evacuated to higher ground over tsunami advisories following the magnitude-9.0 earthquake that struck Japan on March 11, 2011, though the day's shoot was still completed after a delay.
- After stills and footage from the film leaked online in 2011, Summit Entertainment identified a woman in Posadas, Argentina, as allegedly involved and filed both civil and criminal legal action against her in the United States and Argentina.
- A week after release, the film's flashing red, white and black birth scene was reported to have triggered photosensitive epileptic seizures in some moviegoers, with incidents reported in Sacramento, California, and Salt Lake City, Utah.
