Short description

The inspirational story of World Champion Boxer Vinny Pazienza, who after a near fatal car crash, which left him not knowing if he'd ever walk again, made one of sports most incredible comebacks.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Jimmy Birchfield Jr. plays his father, James Birchfield Sr.
  • Miles Teller once nearly died in a car accident himself, and just a year later, a friend of his died in a crash. Since then, the actor has worn a green bracelet in memory of his friend with the inscription "Buckle Up for Bo." The bracelet can be seen in all of Teller's films, unless it contradicts his on-screen character.
  • According to director Ben Yanger, filming took 24 days and the movie's budget was $6 million.
  • Ben Younger's first film in 11 years. His previous work was the romantic comedy "My Best Lover" (2005) starring Uma Thurman and Meryl Streep.
  • Miles Teller trained in boxing with coach Darrell Foster, who worked with fighters such as Sugar Ray Leonard (one of the strongest boxers of the 1980s). Foster also prepared Will Smith for his role in Michael Mann's sports drama "Ali" (2001).
  • Professional boxer Edwin Rodriguez, who played Roberto Durán, knocked out the fight choreographer during the filming of the final fight. It was the last day of shooting, so the scene ended up being much shorter than planned.
