* CreatorKiller: ''Shaq Fu'' was one of a handful of attempts by Shaq to get into non-basketball entertainment courts, with several rap albums and two movies, ''Film/{{Kazaam}}'' and ''Film/{{Steel}}'', on his agenda. Everything but the rap albums imploded, turned him into a butt of jokes, and ensured his first priority would be basketball above all else.

** This game had basically ruined Delphine Software International's career. Pre-''Shaq Fu'', they were responsible for wildly innovative blockbuster hits such as ''VideoGame/AnotherWorld'' and ''VideoGame/{{Flashback}}''. Post-''Shaq Fu'', they would limp through the rest of the decade mostly making forgettable motorcycle racing games before shutting down in 2002.

** As for the sequel that was released, it is clear that tons of changes had been made since the Indiegogo announcement, so much so that one could think that the project must have been restarted from scratch at some point. Most notably, Kaori was supposed to return from the original Shaq Fu, but was removed as the project took a far different turn than originally intended.
