What's left behind the scenes
- In 1978, when Martin Scorsese nearly died from a drug overdose (he snorted cocaine), Robert De Niro, visiting the director in the hospital, tried to persuade him to never use drugs again and expressed a desire for Scorsese to make a film about a boxer. Scorsese initially refused (he didn't like sports films), but De Niro eventually convinced him. Many claim that De Niro saved the director’s life by insisting on his return to work. Scorsese himself, incidentally, shares this opinion.
- A quote from the Bible (“I was blind, but now I see”) is addressed to the professor from whom Scorsese studied. This man died shortly before the film’s premiere. Scorsese dedicated the film to his teacher, stating in the credits that he “helped him to see.”
- To record the sound of boxing punches, watermelons and tomatoes were smashed, and the sound of gunshots was used for camera flashes. The resulting magnetic tapes were destroyed by the sound engineers to prevent their reuse.
- During the filming of the fight scene, Robert De Niro accidentally broke Joe Pesci’s rib.
- Robert De Niro deliberately gained 60 pounds for this film. This was a record at the time. It was later broken by Vincent D'Onofrio, who gained 70 pounds to play Private Lawrence in Stanley Kubrick's 'Full Metal Jacket'.
- Preparing for his role, Robert De Niro trained intensely and even fought in three real boxing matches in Brooklyn, winning two of them.
- Hershey's chocolate was used as a blood substitute, as it looked effective when filming in black and white.
- To better understand his character, De Niro became acquainted with LaMotta, with whom he developed a very good relationship. They were inseparable throughout the entire filming period. LaMotta told De Niro that he had the makings of a true fighter and that he would be happy to become his manager or trainer.
- After watching the film, LaMotta admitted that it made him realize what a terrible person he had been.
- The film includes phrases and recreates scenes from 'On the Waterfront,' as LaMotta admired Marlon Brando's character and often quoted him.
- The wedding scene on the roof was directed by Martin Scorsese's father, as Martin himself fell ill during filming.
- The film marked John Turturro's acting debut. Interestingly, both Turturro and De Niro later played characters named Billy Sunday in different films. Turturro played such a character in 'His Game,' and De Niro in 'The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.'
- In the scene where Jake shouts something about a steak at his first wife, a neighbor starts yelling back at him. Curiously, there was no neighbor in the script; this man appeared completely by chance, as he hadn't even heard about the filming and didn't recognize Robert De Niro either. Notably, the actor, without breaking character, engaged in a verbal altercation with the 'neighbor.'
- The music featured in the film was not written specifically for it. Scorsese borrowed it from the works of Italian composer Pietro Mascagni.
- The original script included a scene in which LaMotta masturbated in his prison cell.
- Robert De Niro gained 27 kilograms specifically for this film.
