History Film / TheReplacements2000

%%* MightyGlacier: Jamal and Andre, but not nearly as much as Jumbo, who weighs about as much as both of them put together, and has the muscles to match.

** The Sentinels beating a Dallas team whose entire team has crossed the picket line is true. The 1987 Redskins Replacements actually beat a Dallas team that had more than 20 "real professional" players, including starting quarterback Danny White, defensive tackle Randy White and running back Tony Dorsett.

* ''Film/TheReplacements2000'':

* DistractedByTheSexy: Because the Sentinels' cheerleaders are almost all strippers, during their second game, the cheerleading squad breaks into an incredibly sexy and over the top dance sequence, which distracts the opposing team, ''and the referee'', and results in the entire team being called for a penalty.

* FakeShemp: Probably alot during the football sequences, since they're all wearing pads and helmets, but most egregiously when they're in prison and Keanu has his hat on and pulled really low so you can't see his face.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Just when it looks like Martel is about to apologize to Falco for all of the {{Jerkass}}ery he and the original team did to him, it turns out to be a speech to just condescend and belittle even more.

* FanserviceCarWash: The substitute cheerleaders turn out to be a bunch of moonlighting strippers. Their halftime show involved The Music/DonnaSummer song "Bad Girls," a snazzy red car, lots of soapy water, and the kind of dancing that usually involves dollar bills stuffed into a G-String

* {{The Berserker}}: Danny Bateman.

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The Replacements. They get better.

* AsHimself: NFL announcers Pat Summerall and John Madden play themselves, doing the play-by-play for the football games in the movie.
* AsTheGoodBookSays: Preacher quotes part of Ezekiel 21:31 whilst in the middle of a bar fight.
** For the record, this is the passage: "And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy."

[[IThoughtItMeant Not to be confused with]] the Creator/DisneyChannel [[WesternAnimation/TheReplacements animated series of the same name]].

** [[spoiler: Highlighted by Danny, a SWAT team captain and decorated war veteran, throwing primadonna QB Martell around like a rag doll.]]

* [[{{Expy}} Expy]]: With his fedora and the way he holds his rolled up play sheet on the field, [=McGinty=] bears more than a striking resemblance to Tom Landry.

-->'''Nigel''': [''beckons a really big guy''] C'mon! C'mon! C'mon, STOP! [''kicks the guy in the crotch''] [[PreAssKickingOneLiner Let's play football, bitch.]] [''kicks the guy in the forehead'']

* JerkJock: Most of the pro ballers are portrayed like this, especially Martel.
** ''ESPECIALLY'' Martel, who rags on the deaf guy... Because he's deaf.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Martel proves this exists, as Danny shows up ''right after'' Martel was ragging on the deaf player for being deaf. And it is ''awesome''.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Dawn's sign language reply to Brian's signing that she looks pretty. Even without knowing sign language it's pretty obvious that she's saying she wants to suck his dick.

* EasterEgg / BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In jail, during the song and dance number, Shane yells "Adrian!"

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Dawn's sign language reply to Brian's signing that she looks pretty.
