• Before his first tournament, Gilmore asks Chubbs why he didn’t pursue a real sport, like “football or something like that.” Carl Weathers, who played Chubbs Peterson, was a professional football player before becoming an actor.
• In all scenes involving Richard Kiel, he had to either stand still or lean on something: in one scene on a fence, in another – on another actor. This was necessary because in 1992, Richard suffered a head injury that impaired his ability to maintain balance without assistance.
• At the very beginning of the film, where Gilmore is playing hockey, a coach and assistant coach are watching his game. Gilmore makes a shot that breaks the glass in the stands behind which the coach is standing. The camera shows Gilmore swearing, and then returns to the coach and assistant coach, who are now standing behind completely intact glass.
