Trivia:

Professional boxers played Braddock's opponents. They were told to land their blows as close to Crowe's body as possible. Unfortunately, they sometimes couldn't pull back in time and ended up injuring Crowe.

Goofs:

Factual errors: Baer is shown wearing a robe with his name on the back. In reality, the robe that Baer wore to both of his title fits was a prop from the movie The Prizefighter and the Lady (1933). Baer played a character named "Steve Morgan", and that was the name on the back of the robe.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Joe Gould: Attaboy! Keep him busy!

Don't Be That Way

Excellent and truly inspiring movie to believe in one's self

We went to this movie today at Albuquerque, New Mexico. My first impression upon looking at the title was "sounds kinda girly movie". I have no idea who Jim Braddock is until I saw this movie. Its truly inspiring and amazing. All actors excelled in their action. Its gripping all the way till the end. I don't want to tell the story and spoil the spirit. It was never boring the entire movie.

Russell Crowe once again lived up to the expectations and did a very good job. Renee Zellweger played the role of a very supportive wife. Its about never giving up, fulfilling for your promises, staying together what may come, to fight back etc., Watch it and you won't regret I promise.
