1* AluminumChristmasTrees: One of the Tropics' more outlandish promotional stunts has Jackie wrestling a bear after a game. ABA teams actually hosted man vs. bear wrestling matches on game days to lure in fans.
2* HarsherInHindsight: Seven weeks after the movie's wide release, Rocky, the bear who played Dewie, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephan_Miller attacked and killed the cousin of one of the bear trainers who worked on the film]].
3* HilariousInHindsight: Monix was gotten in a trade involving a washing machine. Years later, [[https://www.slamonline.com/nba/kyle-korver-was-once-traded-for-a-copy-machine/ NBA player Kyle Korver revealed that in a way he (or rather, his draft rights) was traded for a copy machine.]]
4* OneSceneWonder: Creator/JackieEarleHaley as the Dukes, the shirtless, goofy, perpetually stoned free-throw champ.
