Trivia
With the real Arthur the dog living until December 2020, six full years passed since the race that brought them together. Mikael Lindnord (the real life racer) has not adopted another dog since Arthur's passing. Furthermore, Arthur's death occurred just weeks before Arthur the King began filming.

Goofs
At the zip line the rigs are not secured with a line, but when Chik arrives at the other end, a security line is connected to the rig.

When Olivia gets stuck, you can see one of the lines break, but moments later the line is fine.

Quotes
Michael: Sometimes we feel lost. We push and we suffer, we keep going and that makes all the difference.

Not as moving as the documentary

I highly recommend watching the ESPN Sports Center documentary entitled "SC Featured: A Dog's Remarkable Journey to Find a Home" which details the true story of how Swedish adventure racer Mikael Lindnord and the dog he named Arthur came together in 2014 during an adventure race in Ecuador. That documentary was 13:54 in length and has much more emotional impact than this film which is dull in its storytelling and with one or two exceptions, emotionally flat. The film wanders off-topic (the dog) far too much, emphasizing heated and dull machismo far too much. The director also uses a hand-held cam frequently which takes me out of any film due to the shaky cam effect. Watch the documentary and observe the tears that roll down Mikael's face as he talks about saving Arthur -- there you will find the heart that this film lacks.
