* CastTheRunnerUp: [[http://time.com/mighty-ducks/ Vincent Larusso was originally considered for [=McGill=] and Lawson in the first film]], but then the original actor cast as Banks was fired for bullying another cast member and they gave him the role.



* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch is enough to solidly anchor the first film to TheNineties.
** In the first film, the team attends a game between the Minnesota North Stars and the Hartford Whalers. The North Stars would move to Dallas in 1993 (which Dwayne actually acknowledges in ''D3'') and be replaced by the Wild in 2000 while the Whalers became the Carolina Hurricanes in 1997.

Not a subversion, the Star Derailing Role was a different project.


* MarketBasedTitle: In the UK, the first film was retitled ''Champions'', which also became its name in a number of other countries in Europe and South America. ''D2'' was, confusingly, retitled ''The Mighty Ducks'' in the same regions. The UK home video release for ''Champions'' tweaked the name to ''The Mighty Ducks are the Champions'', perhaps in an attempt to better tie the two films together, but it only made it look like [[SequelFirst the first movie was the sequel to the second]].

With the trilogy being available for streaming when Creator/DisneyPlus launched in the UK in 2020, the film finally reverted to it’s original title.



* StarDerailingRole: Subverted with Creator/JussieSmollett, even though he followed ''The Mighty Ducks'' with ''Film/{{North}}'', which got the "[[RogerEbertMostHatedFilmList hated]]" review from Creator/RogerEbert and tanked heavily. He would rebound in 2015 when he was cast as Jamal Lyon in the TV show ''Series/{{Empire}}''. DoubleSubverted in 2019, when Smollett was arrested for staging a hate crime against himself.
