TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

This is a remake of the French film The Intouchables (2011). In Germany and The Netherlands, it was the most successful French film in history. The same story has also been filmed as the Argentinian film Inseparables (2016).

The real-life relationship between Philippe Pozzo di Borgo and Abdel Sellou was depicted in the documentary La vie comme un roman: A la vie, à la mort (2003).

Nicole Kidman earned a rare feat when two of her films landed first and second place at the box office in the same weekend for The Upside and Aquaman (2018). The second time this occurred was in 2013 with Jessica Chastain for Mama (2013) and Zero Dark Thirty (2012).

Although the film was originally developed/produced by The Weinstein Company, and still credited as such in the version of the film that originally premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2017, the company's and Harvey Weinstein's credits as executive producer do not appear in the theatrical version due to the bankruptcy of the company and the sale of the film to STX Entertainment.

English version (remake) of same 'based on the truth' 2011 French film The Intouchables (2011): the true story is shown in documentary La vie comme un roman: A la vie, à la mort (2003), in which the real assistant helper was an (non-black) Algerian (refugee, Abdel Sellou): in the French film's end credits, the real Sellou is shown in archive footage.

"Dell Scott: You can have any girl you want, man. You rich and you available. What about this lady right here with all the botox? Y'all be perfect for each other. You can't move your body, she can't move her face."

"Dell Scott: You okay, man? I mean, does something else hurt? Philip Lacasse: It's my legs. It's the nerves. It's called neurogenic pain. It's like being on fire. Dell Scott: They don't give you nothing for that? Philip Lacasse: Different medications. It helps a bit. Not enough. Dell Scott: Hurt enough to make you wanna off yourself? Philip Lacasse: No. But losing my wife does. Dell Scott: I'mma help you."
