* DawsonCasting: A reversed example; Creator/HilaryDuff was only 14 when she was portrayed her 16 year old character.


Added DiffLines:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A third movie was pitched at one point, with a new set of teenage agents that Cody would train, but Frankie Muniz wanted to move on from the franchise at that point.
** According to Muniz, years later, he was pitched a comedic animated reboot of the series, where it would take place years later with Cody being an older, washed-up spy, and would have more adult themes.

* FranchiseKiller: The sequel killed plans for a third film. And the fact that Creator/FrankieMuniz is now in his 30s and therefor too old to play the character again further makes any chance of a third Cody Banks movie unlikely.

Misuse. Made back its budget.


* BoxOfficeBomb: The first film is borderline - Budget, $28 million. Box Office $47,938,330 (domestic), $58,795,814 (worldwide), but the sequel definitely qualifies - Budget, $26 million. Box office, $23,630,159 (domestic), $28,818,995 (worldwide). This killed the series and set back/killed the careers of most of the major players.
* CaliforniaDoubling: The first film is set in Seattle, but was shot entirely in Vancouver, BC.
** Mostly averted by the sequel; shot in England and other than a few scenes, entirely set in England.
