Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Final Score (2018)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Final Score was born from a chat between Signature Entertainment boss Marc Goldberg and West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan: with the club's Boleyn Ground about to be vacated and replaced by a residential complex, Goldberg saw it as an unusual film location before its demolition.
- Bodybuilder Martyn "The Nightmare" Ford was cast because he was the only available actor big enough to look intimidating next to Dave Bautista, and Ford had previously been in contention for the role of Hinx in Spectre, which Bautista ended up playing.
- During the shoot at West Ham United's Boleyn Ground, the stadium's former executive suites were converted into bedrooms for some of the crew members, including director Scott Mann.
- Frankie Goes to Hollywood's 1984 UK number-one hit "Two Tribes" features prominently in the film, heard in the opening credits and later during the motorbike chase, because its lyrics echo some of the story's themes.
