Anecdotes
The director Geroge Tillman Jr didn't want to use a fat suit or visual effects in order to show the transformation Foreman went through from his prime to when he came out of retirement to return to boxing in his forties. The filming was split into two blocks; first to shoot scenes where Foreman is at his prime and later for when he's in his forties. The crew took six weeks off so Khris Davis could bulk up for the latter part of the filming. Davis had pretty strict instructions on how many calories to eat per day, depending on his training regime, but the actor went above and beyond, consuming 7000 calories a day to gain the necessary weight. He went from 225 to 275 in six weeks eventually ending up at around 282.

Gaffes
Pleasanton, California, where the Job Corps camp is located, is in a valley, nearly surrounded by hills and mountains. There are none to be seen in the film.

Citations
George Foreman: Anger was my answer to everything. I couldn't stop myself from fighting. It was the only thing I did well.

Big George, This Is Your Life

This movie covers George Foreman's life from his childhood to regaining the world heavyweight championship later in life. Foreman has had a pretty incredible life, which is why it's difficult to cover it in a two hour movie. Many seminal moments and important people in his life (besides his mother and boxing coach) seem a bit like a blur as we hurry from one important event to the next. For what it is, it's a pretty enjoyable movie with a strong performance, if a bit one dimensional, from the lead actor Khris Davis. Although brief, the boxing sequences were well done and intense. Not a fan of these bio-pics stylistically, but this is one of the better attempts to cover a rollercoaster of a life.
