Talk:The Benchwarmers

Untitled
I removed the link and reference to An Untitled David Spade Christmas Comedy since it seemed to be a dead link and IMDB doesn't have anything that looks likely in the searches I tried. The Mink Ermine Fox (talk) 05:03, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

This movie has gone on to inspire one of the best and greatest softball team based out of Scottsdale, AZ to form in September 2006. They are called The Benchwarmers and play competitively ASA softball. The players include Coach Jon Chase, Ray Felizola, Matt Goldring, Rigo Bernal, Jimmy Morris, Wally Wollerman, Brendan Haugh, Scott "Blue" Jones, Marty Murphy and David Henry. Their official website is www.benchwarmerssoftball.com [1]. Be on the lookout for The Benchwarmers in the next big softball tournament near you.--- \

WTF? How is this relevent to the film? Sounds like an advertismentAlembic 19:23, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Guys, you've got to help me out. I feel like I'm going crazy. In the last scene, behind that kid with an afro who stands up to talk, is that X-men's Iceman Shawn Ashemore in a red uniform as an extra? It's driving me crazy!

The same mansion?
Is it just me, or isn't Mel's mansion the same as the one from Fun with Dick and Jane? --Jon Terry 04:20, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

I came on to ask a similar question...I think it's the same house from starship troopers as well...

Yes it is the same house in "Fun with Dick and Jane". We are trying to find out who owns it???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.105.233.5 (talk) 11:48, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Music
One of the songs played in the film is "Thank You for Sending Me an Angel" by the Talking Heads from their album "More Songs about Buildings and Food". I'll watch the movie again to find out exactly where it is played and then post an addition. JRL

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 11:27, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The film was heavily promoted by MLB.com.
 * The Benchwarmers also contains numerous references to Sony&mdash;whose Columbia Pictures division released the film&mdash;through frequent placement of Sony products (i.e. Sony VAIO laptops and computers, Sony Cybershot camcorders, Sony Playstation 2, etc.).
 * Adam Sandler's wife Jackie and his nephew Jared are in the movie. Jackie plays the female customer in the beginning of the movie.
 * ESPN Sportscaster Dan Patrick makes a cameo appearance in the movie; he's seen playing poker.
 * Mel has the KITT car from Knight Rider and the original Batmobile. He also has a Toyota Tundra NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Racing Truck. In the scene where he is driving the Toyota, Mel yells "Boogity, Boogity, Boogity, Let's Go Racing!" which is a reference to former NASCAR Driver and current FOX Sports Commentator Darrell Waltrip's catch phrase at the start of each race. Waltrip is also affiliated with Toyota, helping them with their NASCAR Truck Racing Program and doing television commercials for Toyota.
 * Marcus Elwood's character was aesthetically designed to parody Anthony Martinez.

David Spade?
Rob Schnieder is the star of the film, he plays the main character, he had more screen time than David Spade, the poster even lists his name first, why is he listed second? He should be listed first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.209.168.216 (talk) 21:42, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Sky High?
In the scene where the woman brings the movies back to Richie in the beginning (the lesbian movies) in you look really closely at the TV in the background, it's playing what looks to be the movie Sky High.(the scene of the cafeteria fight)Sweekun (talk) 22:05, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
