* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $23 million. Box office, $7,027,290. It's ''possible'' that it could have done better had it not had the bad luck of arriving in theaters just two weeks after the blockbuster, better-reviewed R-rated comedy ''Film/TheresSomethingAboutMary''.
* CreatorBacklash:
** Creator/TreyParkerAndMattStone rarely speak kindly of this film, as they felt its particular brand of humor was beneath them, and were at one point nervous that their legacy as entertainers would be relegated to this movie (luckily for them, this was never the case). According to them, they only took the roles because they assumed that it was just something you "did" once you were successful in Hollywood and that ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' would have been canceled by that point (it wasn't, resulting in both of them losing a lot of sleep attempting to juggle both). "[[Recap/SouthParkS8E3ThePassionOfTheJew The Passion of the Jew]]" pokes fun at the film when Stan tells Kenny that it's their right to get a refund after seeing a bad movie (in this case, ''Film/ThePassionOfTheChrist''): "This will be just like when we saw ''[=BASEketball=].''"
** Creator/ErnestBorgnine once called this the worst movie he ever appeared in, which considering his filmography is saying something.
* InspirationForTheWork: The movie is based on a real-life game that David Zucker created with his friends, literally played in the driveway of his home. Many of the reappearing teammates are friends of Zucker and actual original players of the Zucker-driveway game, asked by the director to be in the movie to pay homage to origins of [=BASEketball=].
* RealSongThemeTune: Music/ReelBigFish's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHpU0ZfXZ_g cover of]] Music/{{AHa}}'s "Take On Me" for the movie itself, their song "Beer" for the Milwaukee Beers.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: David Zucker had wanted Creator/ChrisFarley to play the lead role, before casting Parker and Stone.
