What's left behind the scenes

  • The actors who played characters in the "The Expendables" franchise met on the set of this film. After completing work on it, they decided not to part ways and continued to collaborate on other projects under the name "The Expendables".
  • Erik Bahr, who appears in the film alongside Bruce Willis, served as Willis's stunt double during filming of Lena Wiseman's "Live Free or Die Hard" (2007).
  • Eric Bork, who portrays Bruce Willis in the film, served as Willis's stunt double on the set of Len Wiseman's action movie Live Free or Die Hard (2007).
  • The President, played by Diedrich Bader, explains that the idea to organize the "Very Hungry Games" came to him after watching the sci-fi thrillers The Running Man (Paul Michael Glazer, 1987) and Battle Royale (Kinji Fukasaku, 2000). This is a humorous reference to the accusations that Suzanne Collins plagiarized the concept of The Hunger Games (the first film of the franchise was released in 2012) from Koushun Takumi's 1999 book Battle Royale.
