Trivia

To make the movie seem as authentic as possible, Stallone told the guy playing Bull not to take it easy on him when it was time for them to shoot the final scene of their match together. The guy laughed about the idea but still agreed to do so even though he warned Stallone that he may hurt him. Stallone, made him eat those words when he beat him for real. Everything in that scene is authentic except for close-up shots of their face that were done later due to injuries that both men suffered while the scene was being filmed. Stallone suffered a strained forearm while Bull Hurley's character suffered a dislocated shoulder. The cry from him that you can hear when Stallone is pulling his arm down at the end is the real thing. That's when it happened. See more...

Mistake Continuity: Near the end of the movie, right before the semi-finals, they say that only eight men are left. When they introduce the men, they only call out six names.

Mistake Continuity: In the beginning of the movie Sylvester Stallone is driving his truck into the driveway of his son's school, you do not see the eagle hood ornament on his truck at this time. But as he parks the truck in front of the school you now see the eagle on the top of the hood.

Mistake Audio problem: When Hawk, is wrestling Carl Adams (the black guy) in the match before the finals, after Hawk, puts him down quickly the ref's have to restrain Carl, as he is being escorted away from the table. As he is being pulled away he keeps yelling about how he was cheated and is screaming to the ref's that he wasn't ready and to set the match up again. If you look closely at him while this is being said, you can see that his lips are not even moving during this scene.

Mistake Continuity: The shot of the truck from atop a hill, right after the boy and Stallone fight over the radio being on or off, shows the truck moving on the wrong side of the highway (against traffic). The two cars behind the truck are in the correct lane.
