Anecdotes
During filming the actors were not allowed to meet their real life counterparts because the director feared they would sympathise and/or play them in a certain light.

Gaffes
At the end of the movie, when it is explaining what each character is up to now, the text says that Charles Allen II is "writing a book on prison workout regimes." Some people regard this as a mistake and think the word should be "regimens". However, all major dictionaries recognize the use of "regime" to mean "regimen".

Citations
Warren Lipka: You're taught your entire life that what you do matters and that you're special. And that, there are things you can point towards that would... which'll show that you're special, that show you're different, when, in all reality, those things... don't matter. And you're not special.

Crédits fous
Preceding the opening credits is this quote: "We must suppose that American animals...slowly migrated by successive generations from the outer world into the deeper and deeper recesses of the Kentucky caves." Attribution is to Charles Darwin, from his seminal work, "On the Origin of Species."

Downright Strange

Now here is one of the most unique films of 2018, both in the story itself and the way Bart Layton tells said story. The fact that they used the real life people for each of the four main characters to help propel the story forward in a documentary-style fashion is absolutely brilliant, and even hilarious at times. Unlike their real-life counterparts, these four actors seem to have a really great future, each having their own share of scenes to steal. Unsurprisingly, Barry Keoghan was the clear standpoint, constantly bordering the line of unsettlingly charismatic and offputting. Which, for a movie like this, is basically perfect. A certain part of me watching this kept going, are these kids complete idiots? Some of the things they decide to do and how they go about doing them are just mind-bendingly stupid, but the way these characters act create a definite believability in some regard. But undoubtedly, American Animals is one of the strangest and most interesting films of 2018.
