    • Trivia
      To gain 40+ pounds, Bradley Cooper ate around 6,000 calories a day, which calculates to eating a meal every 55 minutes. Cooper added that it was not fun consuming those calories since his meals were usually in the form of bland protein shakes he had to choke down between weight lifting. Using his own trainer, he worked out four hours a day for several months. Cooper also took twice-daily lessons with a vocal coach, and spent many hours studying footage of Chris Kyle. When it came to pointing a rifle, Cooper trained with Navy S.E.A.L. sniper Kevin Lacz, who served with Kyle and was a consultant on this movie.
    • Goofs
      While on a night mission, Kyle and marines entered an Iraqi's home and were invited to stay for dinner. The lights were on in the kitchen. There was a large window with its curtains wide open exposing everyone to sniper fire. The curtains would have been closed upon entering the kitchen.
    • Quotes

      Chris Kyle: I'm not redneck; I'm Texan!

      Taya Renae Kyle: What's the difference?

      Chris Kyle: We ride horses, they ride their cousins.

    • Crazy credits
      Footage of the real Chris Kyle's memorial service is featured during the first half of the end credits, while the instrumental "The Funeral" by Ennio Morricone plays on the soundtrack. Following the music and the footage, the rest of the end credits play in complete silence.

    A great movie, but truthfulness? No

    Both historically and in reality, this movie is a profound embellishment of the truth. I won't go into the real domestic situation of the sniper and his wife, you can google it and see that this movie is nothing but a fabrication. This was guy was not the wonderful kind family man as portrayed in the movie.

    This movie is great entertainment as far as war movies go... but if you want accuracy ..... move on.
