* SugarWiki/DevelopmentHeaven: The film was shot in a rig Creator/AngLee called "The Whole Shebang", which photographed natively in 3D (rather than being converted in post) using 4K cameras running at 120fps [[ForScience because Lee wanted to try and make the film seem as "real" and immersive to the audience as possible.]] To give an idea of just how difficult this is:
** The actors couldn't even wear regular make-up because it would be noticeable and the make-up department had to track down a highly-specialized transparent silicone product to apply instead.
** Because shooting at such a high frame-rate meant that very little light was being picked up by the camera sensors, the cinematographer had to use double the usual amount of lights all burning as bright as possible in order to get a usable image.
** The technical difficulty and the sheer expense of using 4K cameras at 120fps meant that Lee could only shoot a limited number takes for each scene. Adding to the overall difficulty was the fact that shooting at a high framerate would make a less-than-stellar performance from an actor more noticeable than if shot regularly. In order to save time and money, each scene had to be extensively rehearsed ahead of time so that production would move smoothly and quickly.
** Ironically, nearly every review of the film, positive or negative, stated that the 120fps framerate [[Main/{{Irony}} took audiences out of the film and detracted from the story]], similar to what happened with ''Film/TheHobbit''. Even more ironic is that Lee himself at the time declined to use the 48fps framerate Jackson used after its disastrous reception.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: An issue many critics and viewers had with the film is that shooting in [=4K=] at [=120fps=] meant that the cameras captured the wobbles and tics that the human face and body exhibit naturally but are automatically filtered out by the brain, ironically making the experience seem more unnatural than what Creator/AngLee intended.

* DancingBear: The movie is more known for being the first feature film to be projected at 120 FPS, despite the fact that very few theatres around the world were able to do that and that there are no home releases supporting that framerate. The Ultra HD Blu-Ray release only goes up to 60 FPS. This and Ang Lee's upcoming Film/GeminiMan are the only two films that go to 120 FPS.

* FakeAmerican: Texas native Billy Lynn is portrayed by Englishman Joe Alwyn in his film debut.
** Apparently, his accent was so convincing that Creator/SteveMartin spent the better part of filming believing him to actually be an American.
* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/SteveMartin and Chris Tucker, both normally cast in comedic roles, play their roles almost completely serious. Tucker does get a few one-liners in, though.
