Trivia / The Replacements (2000)

Go To

  • California Doubling: A minor example. The Washington Sentinels' home field is not in Washington, DC; it is actually the nearby Baltimore Ravens' home field of M&T Bank Stadium. The then-Washington Redskins' home field, FedExField, was used for the sole road game set in Phoenix, Arizona.
  • Doing It for the Art: Keanu Reeves gave up his upfront salary so that the production could afford to hire Gene Hackman.
  • Dyeing for Your Art: Keanu Reeves gained over twenty pounds of muscle in preparation for this movie.
  • Real Song Theme Tune: Of sorts. The replacement players adopt Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" as their theme song, first singing it while they're locked up in prison, and then dancing to it after the final game.
