Based On A Great Big Lie is not a trivia trope
Deleted line(s) 2 (click to see context) :
* BasedOnAGreatBigLie: The film is based on a book by Lorenzo Carcaterra, claiming to be a RealLife account of his childhood. Many detractors have pointed out there are no records of either trial in the story taking place, Carcaterra's school records show that he never spent an extended time in juvenile detention, and people who knew him in his youth have come forward to say the story never happened. For what it's worth, Carcaterra has firmly stood by his story and claims the names were changed to protect the innocent.
Added DiffLines:
* DuelingDubs: The movie has two Latin American Spanish dubs: the original made by Prime Dubb and distributed by [=PolyGram=] in 1996, and a second one made by Intersound and distributed for Blu-Ray by Warner Bros.

* BillingDisplacement: Kevin Bacon is billed first, despite a SmallRoleBigImpact as Sean Nokes. He's only in the first half of the film, and is killed off after the TimeSkip. While the story divides the cast into the child and adult versions of the protagonists, Robert De Niro appears more prominently in both halves.
