TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

In April 2008, Rocky the Grizzly Bear, who wrestles Jackie Moon, killed Stephan Miller, one of his trainers and a cousin of Will Ferrell's stunt double, by biting him on the neck.

The last film from New Line Cinema before it was bought out by Warner Brothers.

Except for the Flint Tropics, all of the team names and uniforms are the same as the real ABA.

Will Ferrell has stated that this would be his last sports-related comedy.

In the film, Jackie Moon says that he had never vomited before, not even as a baby. In reality, Will Ferrell suffered from pyloric stenosis, a condition that causes frequent vomiting, as a baby. A scar on his upper right abdomen, from the surgery he had to treat this condition, appears in this and many other films.
