What's left behind the scenes

  • Initially, the film was titled the same as Guy Lawson's article on which it is based – "Arms and the Dudes".
  • The original title of the film translates to "Dogs of War".
  • The film's poster is a parody of the famous poster for Brian De Palma's crime drama "Scarface" (1983), to which the main characters of "War Dogs" constantly refer.
  • For security reasons, during filming in Miami, the film was referred to as "AK-47".
  • The arms manufacturers' forum in Las Vegas, attended by David and Ephraim, is a fictional creation of the film's authors, but it has real-life counterparts. SHOT Show – the world's largest exhibition of hunting and shooting sports equipment – is held annually (usually in January) and lasts four days, in recent years in Las Vegas. Tanks, rockets, and other military equipment shown in the film were filmed at IDEX – an international arms and military equipment exhibition held every two years in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
  • The International Hotel, where David, played by Miles Teller, is sitting, is not located in Albania, but in the center of Bucharest, the capital of Romania.
  • The events taking place in the plot in Albania were filmed in Romania. Even the workers in the warehouse in one of the scenes speak Romanian.
  • The role of Iz is played by Ana de Armas, an actress of Cuban-Spanish origin. In Spanish, her last name means "weapon".
  • Jonah Hill and his character Ephraim Diveroli were both born on December 20th.
  • David Pakouz is 4 years older than Efraim Diveroli. In reality, Miles Teller is 4 years younger than Jonah Hill.
  • In 2016, Efraim Diveroli sued Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., director Todd Phillips, producer Bradley Cooper, and several others. The claim demanded a ban on the film's release. The plaintiff asserted that the film was based on his self-published memoir, "Once A Gun Runner."
  • The first film directed by Todd Phillips not featuring Matt Walsh.
  • Initially, Jesse Eisenberg and Shia LaBeouf were chosen for the lead roles.
  • The real David Pakouz, portrayed by Miles Teller in the film, appears in a cameo as a musician playing guitar in a nursing home.
  • The image of a sunset on the beach that Ephraim hangs on the wall in his office is another reference to the film "Scarface" (Brian De Palma, 1983). The same landscape was painted on the wall in Frank Lopez's office.
  • David and Ephraim live in downtown Miami. During the arrest, however, they are taken out of the building on Miami Beach, approximately 8 kilometers from the city center.
  • Initially, the film was titled the same as the Guy Lawson article it was based on – "Arms and the Dudes".
  • The original title of the film translates to "War Dogs".
  • The film's poster is a parody of the famous poster for Brian De Palma's crime drama 'Scarface' (1983), which the main characters of 'War Dogs' constantly reference.
  • For security reasons, the film was referred to as 'AK-47' during filming in Miami.
  • The role of Iz is played by Cuban-Spanish actress Ana de Armas. Her surname means 'weapons' in Spanish.
