TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

This film is the highest-grossing sports comedy of all time, while another Adam Sandler vehicle, The Longest Yard (2005), is the second highest-grossing sports comedy of all time.

Henry Winkler's role as Coach Klein came about after he was mentioned in Adam Sandler's huge hit "The Chanukah Song", where Sandler sang about various Jewish or half-Jewish entertainers. Sandler sang, correctly, that the actor who played Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli on Happy Days (1974) is Jewish, and Winkler was thrilled by the reference and contacted Sandler to tell him so. Sandler then decided to ask Winkler if he would read the script for the coach's role, and then say if he wanted to take the part. Winkler did so and immediately signed on for the film.

Kathy Bates was convinced to take the role of Helen "Mama" Boucher by her niece, a longtime fan of Adam Sandler.

The South Central Muddogs' stadium is the DeLand High School football field in DeLand, Florida. The school agreed to let director Frank Coraci use the field if he paid for the stadium to be refurbished after filming.

As of 2021, this is Adam Sandler's 10th highest-grossing film at the U.S. box office, with a take of $198,520,934.

Popular Dialogues

"Bobby Boucher: My Mama says that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush."

"Bobby Boucher: So that's what opening up a can of whoop-ass feels like. Coach Klein: Son, you just opened up a whole case of whoop-ass."
