Maybe this should be in the movie forum, but … was the character of Cliff Booth based on Audie Murphy? I know Cliff was a stunt man and Murphy was a leading man, but they were both WWII vets, in the movie they referred to Cliff’s heroics, and he was a badass who could beat up anyone he met (Murphy was smaller than Pitt, but he would go drinking in the PCH, and beat up guys in bar fights).

No, it was based on Gene LeBell.  Judo champion, stuntman, and world class wrestler.  Guy was amazing.  Look him up.
