| 1 | * ActorSharedBackground: Much like Zohan, Creator/AdamSandler is Jewish. |
| 2 | * DyeingForYourArt: While much of Zohan's [[LeParkour physical prowess]] was the result of stuntmen and serious suspension of disbelief, Creator/AdamSandler got into the best shape of his life (with a full-on six pack and HeroicBuild) to play the Israeli SuperSoldier. |
| 3 | * FakeNationality: |
| 4 | ** Most of the Palestinian characters in the movie, who are portrayed mainly by Jewish actors. |
| 5 | *** Italian Creator/JohnTurturro as the Palestinian Phantom. |
| 6 | *** Canadian Jew of Moroccan descent Creator/EmmanuelleChriqui as Dalia. |
| 7 | *** Half-Jewish, half-Filipino Creator/RobSchneider as Salim. |
| 8 | *** The only actor on cast who is actually from the region is Israeli Ido Mosseri, who plays Oori. |
| 9 | ** Creator/AdamSandler as Zohan Davir. Although he is Jewish, Sandler is American and not Israeli. |
| 10 | * NoStuntDouble: Creator/AdamSandler did a lot of the butterfly swimming stunt[[note]]He was hanging off of wires suspended on a truss extending from a boat and was lifted in and out of the water repeatedly while the boat traveled at high speeds[[/note]] himself, as evidenced by the closeups. |
| 11 | * SavedFromDevelopmentHell: The movie was planned as early as 2000, but after 9/11, the filmmakers felt it in poor taste to do a comedy with middle eastern characters. |
