* DawsonCasting: Brad Pitt was born in 1963, making him about 50 during filming. Possibly slightly older than the average combat soldier. At the same time, his obvious age and physical scars suggest that he's a WWI veteran, which was common enough among officers and [=NCOs=] at the time (such men were commonly called "re-treads" in the US Army).

* DyeingForYourArt: Not in the usual sense of hair dye in that Shia [=LeBouf=] actually ''cut his face, pulled out a tooth, and refused to bathe'' to get himself more into character. This backfired when he smelled so bad and behaved so oddly that he was kicked out of the cast accommodations.

* MethodActing:
** Director David Ayer encouraged the main cast to spar in-between takes to better understand the sense of conflict and help tighten their camraderie on-screen.
** As mentioned in DyeingForYourArt, Shia [=LaBeouf=] cut his face and stopped grooming to better portray the part of Bible.
** Scott Eastwood nearly got into a fist-fight with Brad Pitt and [=LaBeouf=] by spitting tobacco on the tank (which was called for in the script) and arguing with the other two about his habits.
