Golden Arm Movie Facts:
Dot Marie-Jones who plays Big Sexy is a real life 15 time World Arm-Wrestling Champion.
All of the truck driving scenes were done in 5 hours using another Big Rig towing the one used by the actors. Director Maureen Bharoocha had to fight in order to get a real Big Rig Vs using a green screen on a stage.
In a scene not used, Actress Mary Holland hit the DP twice in the same spot with a baseball.
Director Maureen Bharoocha was influenced by a lot of male driven movies growing up such as Fight Club, Slap Shot, Wayne’s World and particularly Tommy Boy.
She saw Golden Arm as a female version of Tommy Boy with the two main characters as the stand-ins for the male counterparts in that movie.
Maureen Bharoocha got her start as a director doing shorts and producing segments for Jimmy Kimmel Live! However, she got her feature director career off to a start with a pair of Lifetime Network thrillers: Fatal Flip and I Am Watching You.
