(By the way, De Niro had already started training as a boxing champion, Grandpa Walken, a true warrior)

Director Mai felt that this scene was really too real, so it appeared in the movie.
5. Kaiser was already very weak when the film started. Director McKenzie knew his condition and finished his shot first.

6. In the scene where Michael forced Stanley to start improvising Russian roulette, De Niro asked the director to actually put a bullet in the revolver in order to increase the tension.

9. At the 2003 AFI De Niro’s Lifetime Award Ceremony, Lao Luo said that Micheal (De Niro) went to the hospital for the first time to see the scene of Steven (John Savage) after amputation. It was the most devoted and most involved act he had ever played. An emotional scene. (I testified that Zhengju Xiang Lao Luo's eyes blushed and he cried and cried, and that episode basically cried from beginning to end.)
10. Both De Niro and Savage have their own style of river jumping (river jumping style?? Thomas 360-degree twisting river??) They have jumped 15 times in two days. (Is it bitter or not, think about Tom's spy five)

14. It is difficult for the casting director to find a local person who can act as a fierce roulette trader. The first actor couldn't beat De Niro in the face at all. In the end, the casting director thanked God for finding someone who hates Americans very much to play this role. De Niro suggested that Walken would be slapped in the face without knowing it during the shooting. Walken's expression was very real at the time.

Director Mak opened the wrapping paper of one or two boxes and found that the extras had prepared real gifts for the wedding.
19. Many critics are very opposed to the scene of Russian roulette. They believe that such behavior did not happen during the Vietnam War. However, the director Michael Cimino knew that this series of scenes would cause controversy, insisting that no one knows whether these things have happened (don't ask, just ask ˊ_>ˋ). According to reports, De Niro and Cimino had disputes over the authenticity of these scenes.

23. Meryl Streep was a pair with Kaiser until Kaiser's death.

28. De Niro was very nervous about the huge controversy caused by this movie, and he did not attend the Oscars in the end. He asked the staff if he could hide backstage during the awards ceremony. After being rejected, he stayed at his home in New York. (My baby!!!)
29. The film’s producer Michael Deeley liked the script very much, but he was still very worried about the box office of the movie. He believed that they needed a globally influential actor like Robert De Niro, and finally proved that hiring De Niro was a very correct casting strategy: because he knew almost all the actors in New York (Robert Socioglio De Niro). De Niro grabbed Meryl, and Meryl brought Kaiser. De Niro also persuaded Director Mak to go to the steel plant for shooting, and persuaded the director to let the actors enter the steel plant for internships to get to know each other.

Why can a person be so innocent and sophisticated, silent and kind, sharp and sleek, contradictory and unified, fierce and naive, standing there seems to see the bottom, if you look carefully, you will never understand him.
