Directed by: David O. Russell
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Melissa Leo
Other mistake: Micky Ward's KO record shows the same number of knockouts before the Sanchez fight and before the final fight, although his knock out of Sanchez should have increased his KO record.
Other mistake: The knockout totals for Micky's last fight should be 21 and not 20. 20 knockouts were listed for the fight prior to his last one, and he knocked out of the last fighter with the liver shot.
Factual error: In the home video scenes, which were supposed to have been filmed during the 1970s or earlier, young Mickey Ward is shown wearing gloves bearing the Title Boxing logo. The Title Boxing company wasn't founded until 1998.
Mickey Ward: I'm the one who's fighting. Not you, not you, and not you.
Trivia: Melissa Leo plays Mark Wahlberg's mother in the film, even though in real life she's only 11 years older than Wahlberg.
