Henry was played by ten different stuntmen and cameramen including director Ilya Naishuller. He was originally played by Russian stuntman/camera operator Sergey Valyaev but the camera rig used in production eventually caused him severe neck pain and the role was given to Andrei Dementiev--who also suffered neck pain as well in addition to losing a tooth after being struck by a stuntman. In the scenes where Danila Kozlovskiy and Sharlto Copley talked directly to Henry, Valyaev and Dementiev wore shades to prevent the actors or actresses from looking at them instead of the camera.
Almost entirely shot using GoPro Hero3 Black Edition cameras.
Sharlto Copley called this film the most challenging of his acting career.
Darya Charusha, who plays a dominatrix biker, is also the film's composer.
The film premiered as "Hardcore" at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival on 9/12/2015. It became one of the most popular movies at the festival and led to a bidding war among Lionsgate, Universal and STX Entertainment. Ultimately, STX acquired worldwide rights, including a wide release commitment, for $10 million, becoming the studio's first festival acquisition. It was re titled "Hardcore Henry" for its domestic release.
"Jimmy: Hold on for just a second. [Steps out into an open courtyard at Akan's fortress] Jimmy: [shouting] Akan's a cunt! Jimmy: [pauses] Ok, coast is clear."
"Henry's Father: "You... little... pussy." That's what my old man called me. It stuck with my name. And I proved him right. By killin' all the wrong people. I love you, Henry. I'll never call you anything, but your name, but you gotta decide: Are you gonna lay there, swallow that blood in your mouth? Or, you gonna stand up, spit it out, and go spill theirs?"
