Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Hilary Swank, Jay Baruchel
Factual error: It is said Maggie can't breathe on her own after her injury. If this was the case she wouldn't be able to speak, since she can't push air out of her lungs to generate sound.
Factual error: Hilary Swank is driving to the new home she bought for her mother, which is supposed to be in Missouri. Why do we see palm trees on the side of the road?
Continuity mistake: In Maggie's first fight (when Frankie isn't her manager), she comes off after the first round and takes her mouthpiece out. After talking to the manager, she gets back up to enter the ring without putting it back in, but when the bell rings she has it in again.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: There is magic in fighting battles beyond endurance.
Trivia: Hilary Swank was the third choice to play Maggie, after Sandra Bullock and Ashley Judd both turned it down.
Question: Is it ever revealed what Frankie's secret is? Why is he estranged from his daughter and looking for forgiveness?
Answer: No, the cause of conflict between Frankie and his daughter is never revealed - we only know that she returns his weekly letters, and it has been some time since they have had contact.
