The Manson Sisters were played by Rachel Piplica and Kristen Adolfi--better known as Iron Maven and Krissy Krash of the Los Angeles Derby Dolls. The pair skated for the Hurl Scouts in the film and in real life skate for the Tough Cookies, the team on which the Scouts were based.
At one point in the film, Bliss Cavendar lies about being 22 instead of 17, which was Elliot Page's actual age at the time.
The movie is written by Shauna Cross, a former Roller Derby skater with the Los Angeles Derby Dolls. She cross-skated under the name Maggie Mayhem with a team of rogue cops called the Sirens. Many of the teams, skaters, names, and plot lines are inspired by Cross' time with the Derby Dolls.
Elliot Page dropped out of Drag Me to Hell (2009) to be in this film.
An important rule of derby depicted but not explained in the film: the first jammer to exit the pack cleanly is declared the LEAD JAMMER and can call off the jam at any time by putting her hands to her hips, returning everyone to their starting points and beginning a new jam. Jammers are seen throughout the film "calling off the jam" with an energetic hip touching gesture.
"Smashley Simpson, Bloody Holly, Maggie Mayhem, Rosa Sparks, Bliss Cavendar: We're number two! We're number two! Razor: You guys came in second out of two teams. Smashley Simpson, Bloody Holly, Maggie Mayhem, Rosa Sparks, Bliss Cavendar: Whoo! Razor: Yeah, let's celebrate mediocrity! That's fantastic."
"Bliss Cavendar: We deserve better villains."
