What's left behind the scenes
- Matthew McConaughey lost 22 kg (48.5 lbs) for his role in the film, and Jared Leto lost 13 kg (28.7 lbs).
- The film went through many stages before receiving funding with the help of Matthew McConaughey. Initially, the director’s position could have gone to Marc Forster, and the lead role to Brad Pitt. Then Craig Gillespie was going to take on the film, and the lead role could have gone to Ryan Gosling.
- In the mid-1990s, Dennis Hopper was attached to the project as director, and Woody Harrelson was considered for the role of Woodruff. But due to insufficient funding, the project did not proceed at that time.
- Jared Leto remained in character as Rayon throughout the entire filming process. He even went to a store in full makeup once, which caused a mixed reaction from local residents.
- Filming lasted 25 days. Due to budget constraints, the film was shot with a single portable camera, there were no conventional lighting systems, and the length of a take reached 15 minutes. Rehearsals also had to be abandoned, and to the relief of the actors, there was no additional dubbing of the dialogue.
- Hilary Swank could have gotten the role in this film, but she turned it down due to scheduling conflicts.
- Gael García Bernal was at one point interested in a role in the film.
- The portrayal of Woodruff differs somewhat from reality; he is depicted as more rough than he actually was. Furthermore, in real life, he had a wife, daughter, and sister, who are not even mentioned in the film.
- In Woodruff’s office, a large poster of a Lamborghini Aventador supercar hangs on the wall. Serial production of this car only began in 2012, while the film’s events take place in the second half of the 1980s.
- In the scene in 1985, the protagonist is told that his HIV test is positive. At that time, the term HIV was not yet used in medicine, and blood tests capable of reliably determining the presence of the virus were not available until the end of 1986. AIDS was then diagnosed by the number of leukocytes and other symptoms.
- The television in Dr. Saks’ house is a model from the early 2000s.
- When Ron returns from Mexico for the first time (approximately 1987), the border guard asks him for his passport, which Ron hands over. A passport was not required to cross the Mexico-US border until 2008.
- The stack of hundred-dollar bills in the Japanese hotel is made up of new banknotes with an enlarged portrait.
- In the supermarket scene, you can notice the branded shelving of the “Campbell Soup” company. These shelves only appeared in 2003, while the events in the film's scene take place in 1986.
- When Ron and Dr. Saks are drinking “Shiner Bock” beer by the house, a close-up shot reveals that the bottle label features a modern logo that would not have existed at the time.
- During the scene in Eve's house, a bottle of Cupcake wine can be seen, which only appeared in 2008.
- At the beginning of the film, in the 1980 scene, a Bud Light advertising poster is visible in the background. This beer only went on sale in 1982.
- Ron Woodruff wears polarized Ray-Ban sunglasses, which only went on sale at the end of the first decade of the 21st century.
- At the beginning of the film, when Ron is collecting money for bets, it can be noticed that the $10 and $20 bills are modern, not from 1985.
- When Ron puts a sombrero on Dr. Saks' head while trying to persuade her to prescribe drugs, a door in the background opens and closes.
- When Ron is sitting on the bull, waiting for his turn to ride, his hand is lower on the gate’s top rail after a cut, compared to its previous position.
- When Ron returns to his car after being evicted, a shadow from the camera is visible on his chest.
- Matthew McConaughey lost 22 kg for the role in the film, Jared Leto lost 13 kg.
