7	* StillbornFranchise: An article written in 2010 suggested that Creator/ParamountPictures was developing a sequel for the film called ''Five Brothers'', with Creator/MarkWahlberg returning to reprise his role. It would be written by David Elliot and Paul Lovett.
8	* ThrowItIn:
9	** When Jack is shot in the legs, Creator/GarrettHedlund actually fell into the telephone pole, hitting his head. After the second take, his head was bleeding.
10	** Almost all of Creator/MarkWahlberg's lines were improvised. Creator/GarrettHedlund had difficulty improvising his lines, so Creator/JohnSingleton and Wahlberg helped him through it.
11	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
12	** Creator/BenAffleck, Creator/MattDamon and Creator/EthanHawke all turned down the part of Bobby. Hawke loved the script, but could not commit to it, because of scheduling conflicts. Damon and Affleck both said no, because they found the script to be "ultra-violent". Creator/BradleyCooper, Creator/VinDiesel, Creator/MattDillon and Creator/JeremyRenner were also considered.
13	** [[spoiler:In the first draft of the screenplay none of the brothers die. In the second draft, Jack is killed. The screenwriters thought that it would add more of an intense dislike for Victor Sweet, and a more emotional state of the rest of the brothers]].
14	** In the original screenplay, Angel carried Sofi upstairs during the shootout, and placed her into a steel tub. Creator/JohnSingleton liked the idea, but it was dropped due to time.
