** Brooklyn's Ebbets Field, which was demolished in 1960, is digitally recreated inside and out, and it looks MAGNIFICENT. You'd never know that it was a baseball field in Chattanooga [[http://blogs.indiewire.com/thompsononhollywood/immersed-in-movies-recreating-the-iconic-ebbets-field-for-42 stood in for the real deal.]]

* {{Anvilicious}}: The kid in the stands who starts learning racism from his father, only to see how wrong it is when Pee Wee puts his arm around Jackie. Yeah, we'd ''never'' get the message otherwise. [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped But then again...]]

* HarsherInHindsight: Chadwick Boseman, who portrayed Jackie Robinson in the film, would pass away on August 28, 2020, which was when Major League Baseball's annual Jackie Robinson Day was held. Also, some news outlets were confused on whether he was 43 or '''42'''. (He was 43). [[note]]Due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, Jackie Robinson day was pushed to August 28, instead of the typical date of April 15.[[/note]]
** Even worse when you realize both Boseman and Robinson died prematurely after long battles with illness, just ten years apart in age.
