During the filming of The Dirty Dozen, the cast and crew were treated to the presence of boxing legends like as Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis, who shared the screen with them. In connection with Brown’s battle with Brian London, Brown’s friend Muhammad Ali happened to be in the area at the time of the fight. A pause in his training allowed the athletic legend to pay a visit to the construction site and pose for photographs with the rest of his teammates.

When it comes to combat films, it’s rare to find one with a cast as strong as The Dirty Dozen, especially when it comes to Academy Award nominations. All four nominees for the Academy Award for Best Director have been nominated at some time in their careers: Ryan, Savalas, Jaeckel, and Cassavetes. Borgnine, Kennedy, and Marvin were all in attendance at the most prestigious event in the film industry, and each of them was given the opportunity to deliver an acceptance speech to the audience.
