- Stallone requested that Jordan wear the flag trunks from Rocky 1, 3 and 4.
- Jordan really got clocked in the 11th round after Stallone challenged him to take one; the story from a 2015 podcast is promised at the end.
- The knockdown and fantasy revival montage is compared to the heart-shaped herb sequence in Black Panther.
- Adrian's restaurant scenes were filmed at the Victor Cafe in Philadelphia.
- Jordan gained 24 pounds of muscle, working out two to three times a day six days a week, and looks even bigger in Black Panther.
- Adrian's maiden name (heard as Pernino), said by the priest at Rocky and Adrian's wedding, was a favorite trivia test; Paulie is called a terrible brother with reprehensible behavior in Rocky.
