    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Most people think this film was a Sylvester Stallone project, but according to Robert De Niro he got the script first and quickly came to the conclusion that Stallone would be the best choice to play his opponent. Stallone himself was actually quite reluctant to do the film at first, as he did not want to parody Rocky (1976) and De Niro had to talk him into it. Stallone claimed that he had a harder than usual time training for the role since he was taking a break from action roles and had stopped working out as much as he normally does.
    • Goofs
      Billy mentioned his dealership is open on Sundays, but it is illegal to open a car dealership on Sunday in Pennsylvania.
    • Quotes
      • [from trailer]
      • Lightning: Hey Webster, show a little respect!
      • Dante Slate, Jr.: I choose to believe that you just called me Webster because of my dictionary-sized vocabulary, *not* because of my height and race!
      • Lightning: Nope, it's because you're short and black!
      • Dante Slate, Jr.: What was Jesus like? I'm curious. Was he cool?
    • Crazy credits
      There are two scenes in the closing credits: Razor, Lightning and Slate watch Kid perform on Dancing with the Stars (2005), and later Slate arranges a rematch between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield.
