What's left behind the scenes
- The character Carver, who is looking for Mad, drives an eighth-generation Cadillac Eldorado ETC. The Cadillac Eldorado is an American personal luxury car manufactured by Cadillac, a division of GM, from 1953 to 2002. It was the flagship of Cadillac's two-door car line and one of the most expensive cars of the brand.
- Before filming, Jeff Nichols described the project as a Sam Peckinpah-directed adaptation of a Mark Twain story.
- Jeff Nichols really wanted Michael Shannon to play the lead role, but Shannon's involvement in 'Man of Steel' (2013) made that idea impossible. He eventually managed to carve out a few days to film the role of Galen.
- About half of the film crew were natives of Arkansas. Furthermore, over 400 local residents were involved in the filming process as extras.
- Over 2000 boys auditioned for the role that went to Jacob Lofland.
- Jeff Nichols conceived of the film's concept back in the 1990s.
- At the time of filming, this film was the largest project ever shot in Arkansas.
- The character of Tom Blankenship was named after a real person whom Mark Twain based Huckleberry Finn on. Blankenship became a judge in real life.
- Mud's defining characteristic is his superstitious attachment to his shirt. Interestingly, Matthew McConaughey was repeatedly teased in real life for his habit of going shirtless.
- Chris Pine was considered for the role of Mad.
- Jeff Nichols wrote the role of Tom Blankenship specifically for Sam Shepard.
- Filming lasted eight weeks.
- The island shown in the film is located near Yoder, Arkansas.
- Mad says that the same antivenom cannot be administered to the same person twice. This is partially true, as reusing first-generation antivenoms caused severe allergic reactions, but modern antivenoms can be used safely multiple times.
- When Ellis encounters Mad on the beach and then runs away, it's visible that his jeans on his left leg are soiled with dirt. In the next scene, his trousers are completely clean.
- Mada's main trait is his superstitious attachment to his shirt. Interestingly, in real life, Matthew McConaughey was repeatedly ridiculed for his habit of going shirtless.
