Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Johnson grew his actual beard for six months and did zero publicity appearances to preserve the look. Studio hated it.
The film's deliberate pacing and moral ambiguity were Tillman's deliberate response to the 'Fast & Furious' cartoonification of car culture. He wanted muscle cars to mean something again.
