* FocusGroupEnding: The film is a spoof of the {{Sports Stor|ies}}y Tropes. This was reflected in the original ending, which spoofed the trope UnderdogsNeverLose by having the heroes lose the final round to the {{Jerkass}} villain, only for one of their number to win big in Vegas and recover some of their losses. The suits didn't like this and insisted that the heroes win. In response, the director created an overly-complicated ending with an obviously labelled DeusExMachina, and a scene in the credits shows the villain whining that he only lost because "audiences can't cope with anything challenging". The DVD has an "alternate ending" which gives insight into how the original might have gone; if it were genuine, it would have been the cruellest ending ''ever''.

* {{Defictionalization}}: Starting in 2017, as a response to the still-popular "The Ocho" joke, ESPN has devoted August 8th (normally a slow day in sports) to turning one of their channels into "[=ESPN8=]", airing 24 hours of oddball sports like trampoline dodgeball, competitive juggling, kabbadi, bossaball, video game tournaments, and even lightsaber dueling, concluding with airings of this movie. The promotion initially started on college channel ESPNU but in 2018, made its way to its original inspiration, [=ESPN2=], formerly nicknamed "The Deuce." In 2020, it [[ReleaseDateChange/COVID19PandemicRelatedExamples aired in March thanks to COVID-19]]; for 2021, it returned to a more normal date, but aired on Friday, August 6 (even in a slow time on the North American sports calendar, Sunday is a bit more busy than Friday).
