• During preparation for filming, Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo intensely practiced wrestling for six months.
• While preparing for his role, Steve Carell spent hours watching clips dedicated to John du Pont. After the film was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, Carell told journalists: "I re-watched everything I could, re-read everything I could about du Pont, and tried to become a person like him."
• During auditions, Steve Carell wore different variations of prosthetic noses. Applying makeup took two hours. Steve’s hairstyle was changed and makeup was applied to alter his skin tone.
• Gary Oldman was considered for the role of DuPont.
• It took many years to realize the project. Actors such as Heath Ledger, Ryan Gosling, and Bill Nighy were considered for the leading roles in the early stages of pre-production.
• Nancy Schultz, David Schultz's widow, gave Mark Ruffalo her husband's glasses, so Ruffalo wears David's actual glasses in the film.
• The film's final scene is a reference to Mark's only MMA fight, held under UFC rules.
• In the scene where the team is sitting and watching no-holds-barred fights on television, they show a fight from UFC 2. This tournament took place in March 1994, although the action is set in 1987.
• Preparing for his role, Steve Carell spent hours watching footage dedicated to John du Pont. After the film was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, Carell told reporters: “I rewatched everything I could, reread everything I could about du Pont, and tried to become a person like him.”
