What's left behind the scenes
- Initially, John Boyega was considered for the role of Jesse Owens (1913-1980), but the actor preferred to film in J.J. Abrams' space opera "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" (2015).
- Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. The film was released on the 80th anniversary of the Berlin Olympics.
- Jason Sudeikis’ first dramatic role in his career.
- Almost no confirmed information remains about Larry Snyder. While working on his character, Jason Sudeikis drew inspiration from Gene Hackman's performance in David Anspaugh's *Hoosiers* (1986) and Kevin Costner's in Ron Shelton's *Bull Durham* (1988).
- Jesse Owens' daughters provided invaluable assistance in the making of the film. The filmmakers sent them the script for review, and then the screenwriters traveled to France to meet them in person. The daughters described the script as 'heartfelt.' They visited the set repeatedly, providing Stefan James with detailed accounts of what their father was like.
- The liner carrying the US team to Berlin is called the *Manhattan*. Launched in 1931, it made regular transatlantic voyages until 1941, when the ship was renamed *Wakefield* and converted into a transport ship for World War II. *Wakefield* was assigned to the US Coast Guard, where it became the largest vessel. After the war, the ship remained in reserve and was scrapped in 1964.
- Filming began on July 24, 2014, in Montreal and at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
- Snyder, played by Jason Sudeikis, buys Owens a new pair of shoes from Adolf 'Adi' Dassler, who would later found the Adidas company.
- While athletes listen to a radio broadcast of boxer Joe Louis's (1914-1981) fight, one of them drinks Erin Brew. This was a brand of beer produced by The Standard Brewing Co, a brewery in Cleveland, Ohio, that existed from 1904 to 1961.
- The film depicts a conversation between Jesse Owens and Luz Long. Long even helps his teammate with the long jump. According to an interview Owens gave historian Tom Ecker in 1965, author of 'Olympics: Facts and Fables', nothing like this happened in Berlin, and he did not speak with Long. Nevertheless, Owens and Long did become friends towards the end of the Olympic Games and remained in contact until Long's death in Sicily in 1943. Owens always spoke of Long with undisguised respect.
