• The film's opening scenes were shot in North Cascades National Park in northern Washington state. Mount Shuksan is clearly visible in the background, east of Mount Baker.
• Viggo Mortensen's character wears a pendant depicting Thor's hammer. Thor's hammer, one of the main deities in Scandinavian mythology, possessed supernatural properties. Numerous similar pendants have been discovered during archaeological excavations in Scandinavia and the British Isles. They date from the 9th to 11th centuries AD, the time of the Viking raids. Some scholars believe that those who believed in the Scandinavian gods began to wear such pendants in opposition to Christian priests and their crosses.
• Director Matt Ross signed contracts with the child actors prohibiting them from eating sweets or fast food until the end of filming.
• At the end of the film, a thermos with a worn and faded red and blue logo is visible on the screen. This is the logo and colors of Club Atletico San Lorenzo de Almagro from Buenos Aires, Viggo Mortensen's favorite football team. The actor lived in Argentina for many years. In Brian De Palma's film 'Carlito's Way,' the same colors can be seen on the wheelchair used by Mortensen's character.
• Preparing for the role of Bo, George MacKay practiced yoga for 3-4 hours a day. The actor later said that this was the most difficult part of working on the film.
• In the final scenes of the film, Viggo Mortensen's character is wearing a t-shirt with the inscription "Jesse Jackson 88". Jesse Jackson is a public figure and human rights activist who ran for President of the United States as a Democrat in 1984 and 1988.
