Did you know
• For his role, Benicio Del Toro spent seven years researching Guevara's life.
• The scene where Che takes the bazooka from his fellow soldier (who keeps missing) and blows up the barracks with his first shot, was meant to show Che miss once then hit the target on his second attempt, but the crew were losing light so they had him get it in one.
• Was the second feature-length movie to be shot with the Red One Camera, the first being Che: Part Two (2008), which was shot first to help Benicio Del Toro's weight loss for the second film.
