• Dutch director Anton Corbijn was offered to head the project, but he had to decline due to scheduling conflicts with his film "A Most Wanted Man" (2014).
• At the very beginning of the film, a guy falls off a skateboard. Interestingly, James Hetfield himself has broken his arm several times due to this mode of transportation, so his concert contract now includes a clause "NO SKATEBOARDING".
• The film's screenplay is 15 pages long and contains very little dialogue.
• Some of the compositions performed at the concert were not included in the film. The compositions not included are: “Sad But True,” “Welcome Home (Sanitarium),” “Fade to Black,” and “Seek and Destroy.”
• The concert footage featured in the film was shot on August 24, 2012, at “Rogers Arena” in Vancouver (Canada).
• The film's title is the name of the seventh track from Metallica's album – Metallica (Black Album) from 1991. Nevertheless, it is not performed in the film.
