Did You Know?
| Trivia | The film had its world premiere in Dallas, Texas the same evening that the SAG-AFTRA strike ended. Many of the actors found out the news through journalists on the red carpet. See more » |
| Goofs | The film implies that Kerry lost his foot in a motorcycle accident just after his NWA world title win against Ric Flair in May 1984. The motorcycle accident actually happened in June 1986. Moreover, Kerry did not have his foot amputated until 1987 after Fritz forced Kerry back into the ring prematurely, causing him to re-injure the foot he hurt in the accident. See more » |
