| 2 | * ApprovalOfGod: Jackie Robinson's daughter, Sharon, felt that the movie and Creator/ChadwickBoseman truly captured the spirit of her father and did him justice. Sharon appeared in Creator/{{ABC}}'s ''A Tribute for a King'' to honor Chadwick when he passed away from colon cancer. |
| 3 | * MethodActing: A mild example, but still counts. Creator/AlanTudyk (Ben Chapman) and Creator/ChadwickBoseman (Jackie Robinson) deliberately avoided each other during the shoot, except on camera, so that any friendliness between the actors wouldn't obscure the animosity of their characters. |

| 5 | * WagTheDirector: Chadwick Boseman refused to let the filmmakers use a stuntman for the baseball scenes, as Boseman had spent hours studying Jackie Robinson's game film and wanted to do everything he could to mimic Robinson's movements onscreen. |
