[edit] Balls of Fury vs Blades of Glory?

Am I the only one who sees the strange similarity between these 2 movies? Are "cooky" sports-related movies the new trend in the industry? Blades of glory, balls of fury. Its probably just a coincidence though 24.32.231.134 18:54, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it's just a coincidence mixed with the, as you put it, "'cooky' sports-related movies" trend, just look at Dodgeball. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.16.40.18 (talk) 23:29:36, August 19, 2007 (UTC)

aha yes, i suppose so 24.32.231.134 02:57, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dragon

I notice The Dragon is uncredited not only in the film credits but here. Who played her?

Pedophillia is just wrong man... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.170.59.209 (talk) 09:12, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Her name is La Na Shi. Pedophillia not withstanding. JMAN 23:48 EST

[edit] Inpired by Jan-Ove Waldner

The writers have stated that the movie is partially inspired by Jan-Ove Waldner, the Swedish ping-pong veteran that's something of a super-hero for Ping-Pong fans, especially in China. See e.g.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/02/magazine/02food-t.html?ex=1190174400&en=8740723d35dbb851&ei=5070

and

http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesliv/film/article788053.ab (the latter refers to a "LA Reporter" interview with Thomas Lennon where he refers to Waldner as a nerd that's treated like Leonardo DiCaprio in China). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.252.164.90 (talk) 06:36, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Absence of Other Reno 911! Main Casts

Fans of Reno 911! might recognize many of Reno 911! regulars in this movie. The oddest thing is that other than Garant, Lennon and Kenney-Silver, the rest of Reno 911! main casts are missing from this movie. Meanwhile other actors who play recurring and minor characters are making appearances in this movie (Diedrich Bader, Patton Oswalt, Masi Oka, David Koechner, and even Minglie Chen). Apparently Garant and Lenon did not even consider their Reno 911! cast-mates to be in this movie. Tastes like lead (talk) 08:50, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
