Trivia / Hunter Killer

• Fake American:
  • Scotsman Gerard Butler as the American sub captain Joe Glass. However, the film acknowledges Butler's birthplace by introducing him while he's hunting deer in the Scottish countryside.
  • Englishman Toby Stephens as the leader of a Navy SEALs team.
• Fake Russian: Swedish actor Michael Nyqvist plays the Russian sub captain Sergei Andropov.
• Reality Subtext: The highly deteriorating relations between Russia and the U.S. during the 2000s and 2010s form the film's backdrop.
