Body Body
The name of the movie and the game played in the movie are based on a commonly played Improv Game called Body Body (or Murder In The Dark) where players run around in a dark room while the murderer "kills" players by tapping them, hoping to get away with killing the entire group.
The opening kiss
The opening kiss is among director Halina Reijn's favorite scenes in the film as she wanted to start with something "sensuous and animalistic," because the whole film is basically asking if we're civilized or beasts. The kiss originally lasted for several minutes.
Amandla Stenberg
Amandla Stenberg messaged New York Times film critic Lena Wilson after Wilson called the film a "95-minute advertisement for cleavage" in her review, saying, "Ur review was great, maybe if you had gotten your eyes off my tits you could've watched the movie."
New York
The shoot went for twenty-five days, so they wanted to find a house that could deliver all the locations they need. They found it in a large house located an hour outside of New York.
Pete Davidson
Pete Davidson actually punched Lee Pace during the tequila slaps scene. However, Pace had given Davidson permission prior to filming.
Lee Pace
For sabering-the-champagne-bottle, Lee Pace admitted that he practiced for the feat at home using Thranduil's sword from his time in The Hobbit (2012) film series.
Jasper Wolf
As the film takes place almost exclusively in a dark mansion with the only source of light being cellphones, a headlamp, and glow tubes, the cast had to be instructed on how to light the scene and themselves from cinematographer Jasper Wolf. Wolf proclaimed if any of the cast missed their timing the scene was unusable as all you would see is dark silhouettes.
