    • Trivia
      Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards said to the British public broadcaster the BBC that the filmmakers had "done a very, very good job" on making this movie. Edwards also noted Taron Egerton performance playing him as "uncanny" stating Egerton "got my mannerisms and everything else just right."
    • Goofs
      At the 1988 Calgary Olympics, ski jumpers have their skis "v-style" (tips spread apart) while in the air. V-style ski jumping came to competition in the 1990s. At the Calgary Olympics, ski jumpers kept their skis parallel in the air.

    Exactly as expected
    The film makers themselves warn you with the movie being publicized as a feel-good, underdog tale that provides family entertainment. And that is EXACTLY what this movie is!!! And even though the movie does not bring in anything new or more than what was expected from it, it is definitely a good watch.

    The characters are extremely likable and the movie will have you rooting for 'Eddie' in no time.

    From what I have read, the movie was not shot in Canada and is very loosely based on the actual life of the real Eddie the Eagle, so people from Calgary and people who actually know a lot about the real Eddie might be slightly disappointed.
