What's left behind the scenes
- The film was shot in 23 days and finished one day ahead of schedule.
- The script called for the main character to be around thirty-five years old, but the filmmakers changed this detail, as the lead actor, Ryan Gosling, was 25 at the time of filming.
- All scenes in the film, except for the "still life" scenes in the main character's apartment, were shot using a "handheld camera" technique.
- During the filming of the bar scenes, Rachel McAdams stopped by the set. The filmmakers were short on extras, and McAdams joined the shoot to help create the illusion of a crowd and, consequently, the busyness of the establishment's staff, but all scenes with her participation were cut from the film during editing.
- The film is named after a wrestling hold in which one arm is slipped under the opponent's armpit and pressure is applied to their neck and the back of their head.
- A month before filming began, Ryan Gosling moved to New York to fully immerse himself in his character's life. He lived in a small apartment in Brooklyn and followed an eighth-grade teacher named David Easton around.
- The scene in which the main character, played by Ryan Gosling, picks up Frank the cat, played by Anthony Mackie, was not in the script. During filming, Gosling simply saw a stray cat and picked it up. Considering that his character had recently lost a cat, the filmmakers decided that this scene would fit well and left it in the film.
