Russell's pay cut for extras' meals; Russell playing left-handed; the Vancouver arena shared with Rocky IV; other Dream On uses; Michael Mantenuto's later life; Jim Craig's 39 saves; Jim Craig's DUI
Russell took a pay cut so the 800 to 1,000 extras playing fans could get a full hot meal instead of a brown-bag lunch.
Russell, right-handed, used his left hand in the movie; Herb Brooks was a lefty.
The Soviet game was filmed in Vancouver at the P&E Agrodome, which also hosted the Rocky-Drago fight for Rocky 4, the Cold War sports mecca.
Dream On has also appeared in a live orchestrated Last Action Hero, The Virgin Suicides, Cold Case episode 49 and Glee.
Michael Mantonuto, who played O.C., left acting, joined the Army, served with the Green Berets, came home and died by suicide; he was good enough to have been an actor.
Jim Craig really did stop 39 shots, 39 to 16 in shots, and the movie seems to show all of them.
Jim Craig had a DUI in the 80s that the speaker thinks was a manslaughter; he has rebuilt to some degree.
