Usually when filming the actors eating, they spit food out once the camera stops rolling, but in the hot dog eating contest scene, Viggo and actor Johnny Williams really ate hot dogs.

Most of the Tony’s real relatives appeared in the film as Tony’s relatives.

Dr. Shirley’s family had criticized the film for not being made from real life events.

The Review: Such a strong script and acting, no wonder it won best picture.
