- Preparing for the role of Bo, George MacKay practiced yoga for 3-4 hours a day. The actor later said that this was the most difficult part of working on the film.
- At the end of the film, a thermos with a worn and faded red and blue logo is visible on screen. This is the logo and colors of Club Atletico San Lorenzo de Almagro from Buenos Aires, Viggo Mortensen's favorite football team. The actor lived in Argentina for many years. In Brian De Palma's "Carlito's Way," the same colors can be seen on the wheelchair used by Mortensen's character.
- Viggo Mortensen's character wears a pendant depicting Thor's hammer. Thor's hammer, one of the main deities in Scandinavian mythology, possessed supernatural properties. Numerous similar pendants have been discovered during archaeological excavations in Scandinavia and the British Isles. They date from the 9th to 11th centuries AD, the time of the Viking raids. Some scholars believe that those who believed in the Scandinavian gods began to wear such pendants in opposition to Christian priests and their crosses.
