Where to watch Fury (2014)

Trivia & production notes

• Director David Ayer required the cast to undergo a week-long boot camp run by Navy SEALs as part of four months of preparation, designed to exhaust and break down the actors physically and mentally.
• The actors were forced to live together inside a tank for an extended period where they ate, slept, and defecated to build authenticity for their roles.
• Tiger 131, the only operating Tiger I tank in the world, was lent by The Tank Museum for the film, marking the first time a genuine Tiger I tank appeared in a contemporary war film since 1950.
• During preparation, director Ayer had the cast physically spar with each other, resulting in black eyes and bloody noses, and they engaged in personal attacks to build tension.
• A stuntman was accidentally stabbed in the shoulder with a bayonet while rehearsing a scene in Pyrton and was airlifted to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.
• The production filmed a scene on Remembrance Day 2013 with extras wearing Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS uniforms, which sparked controversy and prompted apologies from director David Ayer and Sony.
• Brad Pitt spent time learning to drive a tank in the English countryside in preparation for his role.
• Composer Steven Price was brought on to score the film in November 2013.
• Jon Bernthal joined the cast as Grady Travis, described as a cunning, vicious, and world-wise Arkansas native.
