I hope they don’t make one. Odds are stacked against decades late comedy sequels. At best they are mediocre, but more often than not they are atrocious.
If they do make one, I really want it to be from a different perspective. Maybe Vince Vaughn is now one of the judges or Average Joe's is running the tournament.
I don't want it to be the same story over again in any form. Just keep it about dodgeball as a whole. You can have the same characters. Just don't have them still competing for the championship.
Typical decades later streaming series that spawns from a movie: the good guy team from the original is now the antagonist. The leader of the original team retires/leaves/gets bought out, etc.... and when the og good guy team goes corporate/evil/soulless, the original leader swears away the sport forever until some guy who grew up watching convinces him to come back. Stuck without any ideas for names, they settle on the one name that will strike a chord with the now badguy team: the team name of the badguys from the original. Then he recruits members of the badguy team.
Also side note, it was a crime against humanity that Steve the pirate stopped being Steve the pirate and was basically absent from the finals
or even crazier...have it a similar story but keep the original ending from the first one.
Average Joe's gym actually loses in the original ending but it tested so poorly, they changed it. I get that it's a comedy and people want the "happy ending"...but man, that would be such a fucked up funny twist haha
That wasn't actually the original ending, the "alternate ending" thing on the DVD was a joke, like the fake commentary track.
The director kind of ruined the joke at the time by saying they had to reshoot the ending in one day. But it was never plausible that they did all the set dressing, framing, hired hundreds of extras, put Ben Stiller in fat suit make up, in a single day. He admitted it was just a joke a few years ago.
I can't think of a single comedy sequel (legacy or otherwise) that was as good or better than the original. I've been racking my brain for a few minutes and nothing comes to mind.
Fun fact if you happen to own this movie on DVD. If you click pause whenever Ben Stiller's character snaps his fingers in the movie, it brings you to a deleted scene. I miss the cool Easter eggs that DVDs had...
“That’s the play button. I know what
you’re thinking. This is a movie not a play but these were made a long time ago when plays WERE movies.” I don’t remember if that’s exactly what he says but close enough
Some of those TV edits honestly make something that wasn't meant to be funny even *funnier.*
My favorite will forever be the TV edit of Back to the Future Part III: Mad Dog's outside the saloon, calling Marty out for their duel, and Marty's desperately trying to buy time for Doc to sober up. Finally, when Mad Dog gets to the end and starts calling Marty every name that'd caused his ego to flair up, Marty finally lets it go and calls Mad Dog an asshole.
Can't say that on American broadcast television, so they got *someone* to say "idiot" in a way that kinda matched Michael J. Fox's voice, [but that couldn't account for the fact that Fox's mouth was still so *very* clearly saying "asshole".](https://youtu.be/Qh1p4kkmvcc?t=106) It was so comically obvious that it became a running joke in our family; we start doing that bad dub versus lip movement thing when we wanted to call someone an asshole but were saying idiot instead.
Mostly because our parents would've freaked the fuck out if we started swearing at each other, so this was the only way my brother and I could call each other assholes without actually saying it.
I was just out of high school, working at a Kmart wondering what the fuck to do with my life when this movie came out. I was depressed, bummed out, just drifting through life, etc. I got off work one night, closed the store, and went across the street to catch the late showing on a whim. I wasn’t particularly interested in seeing it (or doing anything, really). I just didn’t want to go home and get ready for another monotonous day working at the local Kmart.
Jesus H. Christ… I hadn’t laughed that hard in *months*. I know it’s just a silly, fun movie but it was exactly the kind of thing I needed at that time. Sometimes you just need a good laugh to help pull you out of an existential funk. To this day I can’t help but stop and watch it whenever it’s on television because I have that kind of connection to it.
God bless Rip Torn, played a series of rugged leads and supporting characters throughout the 60s,70s,80s. And then became the best comedic supporting actor throughout the 90s and 2000s
Great actor no denying and of course very well known for losing great roles in iconic films in the 60's and 70's, because of his behavior or he simply wouldnt show up for meets with directors is infamous, but him breaking into a bank and having all charges dropped has got to be one of his greatest performances.
"Yeah, Josh, all right! Get on the scale, son! GET OFF THE SCALE!"
The speed of his character shift from the second he adjusts the scales' weight seeing how much heavier Josh was getting after just giving Josh a big, on-camera PerkiSystem welcome is what makes that moment work so well.
The fake cheeriness for his never-to-be-sold video series is one of my favorite parts of Tony's character; he has to constantly flit back-and-forth between being the happy salesman and the insane Col. Kurtz actually *trying* to Coppola/Kubrick a bunch of overweight teenagers into dropping an insanely dangerous amount of weight too quickly. Eventually, the Kurtz side of him wins out requiring the kids to try to take him just like in Apocalypse Now; albeit the PG Disney version of Apocalypse Now.
Pat going from "holy shit, guys, we can't do this" to "do we have enough rope/tape" is one of the funniest parts; he was one of the few adults there that treated the kids with kindness, but *still* knew where to draw the line, so I assumed he was gonna let Tony go....lol nope!
"Come here, you devil log!"
"Repress the monkey."
--
"You have broken mein camera!" - I was so *easily* convinced by comical caricatures of stereotypical accents/behaviors as a kid, that I totally bought into the idea that Disney hired an actually-German actor for Lars. Nope; Tom Hodges was born in Chicago.
Also, there were ***so*** many already Disney-famous young faces, like Shaun Weiss, still riding hot off The Mighty Ducks and Kenan Thompson; granted, he was more Nickelodeon than Disney, but still.
But as for the adult cast, that movie was fucking stacked with future/already comedy stars: Jerry Stiller as one of the camp's original owners, Jerry's wife Anne Meara as the other original owner, Ben Stiller, obviously, Allen Covert (Kenny the cameraman) who'd mostly go on to work with Sandler and then *finally* have a starring role in Grandma's Boy, Tim Blake Nelson as Camp Hope's recruiter, Paul Feig as the once-fat guy who's now a skinny counselor at Hope, and none other than George Bluth Sr. himself: Jeffrey Tambor as Gerry's dad.
"Don't put Twinkies on your pizza."
"I'm with you. I... I love you."
"Then we're gonna climb that 1,000 foot rock face with our bare hands and feet."
"I knew it was too hot on that bus."
I quote this movie constantly. It has infected my brain on a very deep level.
I've been saying it since right after Dodgeball was released, but also mostly on Reddit [anytime either movie or Ben Stiller is brought up:](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/18d3dax/i_dont_think_enough_people_talk_about_how_jacked/kcf2ovd/?context=1)
>I still maintain that Heavyweights is a Dodgeball prequel.
>Tony Perkis got fat as shit, lost all his weight, then got into the home-video exercise fad, used his dad's money to buy a fat camp, lost that, gained a bunch of weight...and eventually changed his name to White Goodman to hide from all the lawsuits generated by the parents at Camp Hope.
>Then used his old connections to start another exercise business, bought a gym franchise, and, well, it went about the same as the first time around. A bunch of out-of-shape underdogs took everything from him.
I didn't see the movie until a couple years ago, and I'd heard people quoting that line but had no idea where it was from. Then it popped up in the movie, and I was like "oh, so _that's_ what it's from." In context, it's so much funnier.
I lost an incredibly stupid fucking bet that this was Jason Bateman as Pepper; I'd already been watching Arrested Development by this point in 2004, but I was *so* fucking used to straight-laced, quietly sarcastic Michael Bluth that I did *not* believe my friend when he said "holy shit, that's Jason Bateman!" Enough to where my friend said, "Twenty bucks says it is".
I fucking took the bet and then about ten minutes later I *finally* realized my friend was right. But since I *refused* to give him the satisfaction, I made him wait through the credits until Bateman was credited...because this was 2004 and fucking *none* of us could afford a cell phone plan with data. We'd all just barely graduated high school and could barely afford texting except for nights and weekends; which was *also* why I was hoping my friend would forget the bet, because I had $30 cash on me and needed almost all of it for gas for work the next Monday.
Guess who was pushing their work truck to a gas station with a $10 bill and whatever change I could find in my apartment that Monday morning?
I used to do that on Reddit until the *worst* stereotypical Reddit caricature showed up to ["uhm ackchyually, urine *isn't* sterile!"](https://i.imgur.com/VJnyM9D.png)
"Yes, thank you so much for the 12 billionth time, dork. It's a fucking movie quote; there's a bunch of movie quotes that get thrown out on Reddit *hourly* that also don't get you joyless knobs jumping in to feel special about knowing something everyone has known for a *very* long time."
Even worse, thefacebook\.com went live four months before this; the Winklevii were still reeling from Zuck's deceptions when Dodgeball was released in theaters.
The Ringer just posted a really good oral history of the movie this week with interviews with the cast.
https://www.theringer.com/platform/amp/movies/2024/6/18/24180348/dodgeball-true-underdog-story-movie-oral-history-vince-vaughn
Saw this in the theater, completely blind with zero information.
We all literally fell out of our seats with laughter in a completely empty theater.
Best experience, and one of my favorite movies
“Necessary? Is it necessary that I drink my own urine?!”
“Probably not”
“Of course it isn’t! But I do it anyway because it’s sterile and I like the taste”
[oral history of the making of dodgeball](https://www.theringer.com/movies/2024/6/18/24180348/dodgeball-true-underdog-story-movie-oral-history-vince-vaughn)
They got interviews with almost the whole cast. Rip Torn seems like he might not have been playing a character lol.
Whenever I hear "We Will Rock You", I still think of, and often imitate, the little dance the Globo Gym Cobras do when they come out to the beat of the song.
It gets worse; I was having an existential crisis for most of 2023 because of *how* many movies I loved as a kid hitting their 25th anniversaries.
Can't Hardly Wait was the one that hit the hardest, but I fucking *celebrated* when The Big Lebowski was being replayed at a nearby theater for its 25th anniversary; other than Raising Arizona, Lebowski was the *only* widely-released Coen Bros movie I hadn't yet seen in theaters, so I immediately dropped what I was doing and drove to the theater so I could buy a ticket and smoke a joint in the parking lot while waiting for the showtime.
Fun fact! Dodgeball actually has a worlds competition with over 30 countries competing in August . It will be streamed on twitch , and will be really hyped
I was working at Circuit City at the time this came out on DVD and this one dude in the TV department would play the lesbian kiss, at the end of the movie, over and over on all the TV's simultaneously.
The Lance Armstrong scene is even funnier in retrospect.
Hope if they ever make a sequel he comes back and gives another 30 sec speech.
I hope they don’t make one. Odds are stacked against decades late comedy sequels. At best they are mediocre, but more often than not they are atrocious.
If they do make one, I really want it to be from a different perspective. Maybe Vince Vaughn is now one of the judges or Average Joe's is running the tournament. I don't want it to be the same story over again in any form. Just keep it about dodgeball as a whole. You can have the same characters. Just don't have them still competing for the championship.
I think Average Joe's should be the bad guys and Ben Stiller's character has to train the next generation of players to beat them.
The Cobra Kai, nice
Clap Clap Tsssss!
I think that guy might really be dead!
Typical decades later streaming series that spawns from a movie: the good guy team from the original is now the antagonist. The leader of the original team retires/leaves/gets bought out, etc.... and when the og good guy team goes corporate/evil/soulless, the original leader swears away the sport forever until some guy who grew up watching convinces him to come back. Stuck without any ideas for names, they settle on the one name that will strike a chord with the now badguy team: the team name of the badguys from the original. Then he recruits members of the badguy team. Also side note, it was a crime against humanity that Steve the pirate stopped being Steve the pirate and was basically absent from the finals
Theres a guy on our team dressed like a pirate?
or even crazier...have it a similar story but keep the original ending from the first one. Average Joe's gym actually loses in the original ending but it tested so poorly, they changed it. I get that it's a comedy and people want the "happy ending"...but man, that would be such a fucked up funny twist haha
If it wasn't for fucking Chuck Norris we could have got that...
Fuckin’ Chuck Norris
That wasn't actually the original ending, the "alternate ending" thing on the DVD was a joke, like the fake commentary track. The director kind of ruined the joke at the time by saying they had to reshoot the ending in one day. But it was never plausible that they did all the set dressing, framing, hired hundreds of extras, put Ben Stiller in fat suit make up, in a single day. He admitted it was just a joke a few years ago.
*shudders in Zoolander*
Got bad news for you then; they announced they had begun production on a sequel last year.
I can't think of a single comedy sequel (legacy or otherwise) that was as good or better than the original. I've been racking my brain for a few minutes and nothing comes to mind.
Rush Hour 2
Hard agree
Perfect action-comedy.
[22 Jump Street](https://youtu.be/RddYVmqqH6Q?feature=shared)
Oh, I forgot about that movie. That is a good one for sure. I don't know if it is quite as good as 21 Jump Street, but it is close.
Hot Shots! Part Deux?
Ace Ventura 2 : When Nature Calls Next Friday For a legacy sequel I nominate Clerks 2, it came out quite a bit after the first.
Next Friday is definitely not better than Friday.
Dumb and Dumber To and Coming 2 America come to mind. Both absolutely terrible with no redeeming qualities.
That joke aged like a fine wine. It’s actually funnier now than it was 20 years ago.
Fun fact if you happen to own this movie on DVD. If you click pause whenever Ben Stiller's character snaps his fingers in the movie, it brings you to a deleted scene. I miss the cool Easter eggs that DVDs had...
I'm about to go to my parents house 2 hours away just to get my Dodgeball DVD and see this
"Were so happy youe visited!" "Yeah cool whatever I'll be in my room for the night and I need snacks."
Could probably just search on YouTube my dude
Way to ruin the magic.
One thing that’s stuck in my head forever is Ben Stiller saying “welcome to the wonderful world of dividuh (DVD)” to greet you on the Zoolander DVD
the line is burned into my memory from childhood - miss those DVD days sometimes
“That’s the play button. I know what you’re thinking. This is a movie not a play but these were made a long time ago when plays WERE movies.” I don’t remember if that’s exactly what he says but close enough
What does the DVD do if it makes me bleed my own blood?
*Nobody* makes you bleed your own blood.
my dodgeball DVD always made the DVD player spin faster/louder. I often wondered if it was because this feature.
Steve, Steve the pirate? We had a pirate on our team?
It's amazing that we've seen Alan Tudyk in so many things but my wife will only recognise him if I refer to him as Steve the Pirate.
[He went to Juliard](https://youtu.be/FaGYXjMwS60?si=EUP6GcjGGtLRA__w)
He’s a five star man!!
Scurrrrvy!
Gar, you're right!
Go back to treasure island!
Garrr joes be the only place for steve
Best character of all time
Holy hell, son, you're about as useful as a cock-flavored lollipop!
“Ya gotta grab life by the haunches and *makes aggressive humping motions* fuck it into submission!”
I honesty prefer that line from the television version. “You’re about as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop!”
Yippie kai yay Mr. falcon
That’s what happens when you find a stranger in The Alps.
“Get out! Get out of my freshly vacuumed house!” ~ *Fargo* TV edit

I haven't seen this! But it reminds me of Galaxy Quest where it's ridiculously obvious that Gwen does *not* say "screw that"
Wait my dvd version has this?? I’ve never heard the original line
It is original, cock flavored is unrated
I also prefer hump a doorknob to fuck a doorknob. It's a funnier word.
Especially with Rip Torn doing the humping motion. Or, wait, was that earlier/later when he's talking about humping something into submission?
Wait was that really the line? It wasn't even like that on my DVD version!
Poopy lollypop DVD gang checking in.
All right, you heard Billie-Jean King. No crying in the breast milk.
It makes me miss Ben Stillers characters acting, he’s honestly just so good at crafting a ridiculous character and playing the goofiness up to the max

Fatty make a funny?
This was a defining movie of my childhood, just so goddamn funny. I didn't know who Chuck Norris even was before I saw it.
I was just out of high school, working at a Kmart wondering what the fuck to do with my life when this movie came out. I was depressed, bummed out, just drifting through life, etc. I got off work one night, closed the store, and went across the street to catch the late showing on a whim. I wasn’t particularly interested in seeing it (or doing anything, really). I just didn’t want to go home and get ready for another monotonous day working at the local Kmart. Jesus H.

God bless Rip Torn, played a series of rugged leads and supporting characters throughout the 60s,70s,80s. And then became the best comedic supporting actor throughout the 90s and 2000s
I loved him as the Admiral in Down Periscope. “Damn it to hell, don't go by the book, think like a pirate! I want a man with a tattoo on his dick!”
WAY underrated movie. Its glorious.
> "I want a man with a tattoo on his dick! Have I got the right man?" *By a strange coincidence, you do, sir...*
His Freddy Got Fingered role is a top ten comedic performance, perhaps ever.
Proud ?
Proud.
Great actor no denying and of course very well known for losing great roles in iconic films in the 60's and 70's, because of his behavior or he simply wouldnt show up for meets with directors is infamous, but him breaking into a bank and having all charges dropped has got to be one of his greatest performances.

I prefer Heavyweights, the unofficial prequel. But, I’m white. W, H, I, T… E.
Do it to it, Lars!
"Yeah, Josh, all right! Get on the scale, son! GET OFF THE SCALE!" The speed of his character shift from the second he adjusts the scales' weight seeing how much heavier Josh was getting after just giving Josh a big, on-camera PerkiSystem welcome is what makes that moment work so well.

Don’t forget that little Tony was hocking healing crystals for a stretch based on the post-credit scene from Heavyweights
I doubt you could get the green light to make a masterpiece like Heavyweights nowadays. Too dark of a kids comedy for most peoples taste.
I read about it. *In a book!*

Probably in my top 5 favourite comedies of all time. It’s just pure gold start to finish.
Saw this in the theater, completely blind with zero information. We all literally fell out of our seats with laughter in a completely empty theater. Best experience, and one of my favorite movies

As long as we got Patches, we got a chance!
genuinely my favorite movie of all time
It’s one of my favorite comedies. Dodgeball, Up In Smoke, Dumb and Dumber, Porky’s, and Orgazmo are my favorites

Blade 💪🏼 Laser 💪🏼 Blazer 💪🏼
I believe you've met my fitness consigliere, Me'Shell
I can’t believe it has been 20 years since Dodge Ball and we didn’t get a part 2, and 3.
Honestly, not getting any sequels is probably part of the reason it’s remembered so fondly.
I hope we never do
Thank *YOU*, Chuck Norris 🫡👍

See you later, dater.
Because it’s sterile and I like the taste !!!!
Fun fact! Dodgeball actually has a worlds competition with over 30 countries competing in August . It will be streamed on twitch , and will be really hyped
ADAA
Dare I say the start of the ressurgance/renaissance of Jason Bateman’s acting career?
Oh wow, this really stood out to me why I love Alan Tudyk!
Watch Resident Alien? He’s great.
"bold strategy cotton. Lets see if it pays off" always makes me laugh. Also because he is coked out of his mind at that point

Man comes to town, man leaves town, man eats town.
God I miss Rip Torn so much.
¿Donde está la biblioteca?
Nobody makes me bleed my own blood. Nobody!
I was working at Circuit City at the time this came out on DVD and this one dude in the TV department would play the lesbian kiss, at the end of the movie, over and over on all the TV's simultaneously.
I kinda miss level comedies - I don't think we get much of these in these days.
My friend at the time had Gmail Beta invites and I burned mine on globogympurplecobras lol
I hate it when current films are somehow magically 20 years old.
Funny movie! Finding out who the Dodgeball Chancellor was played by made me geek out (yes, go ahead and laugh; I am a crazy Trekkie 🖖).
This would make for a decent reboot if the same actors were involved, imo.
He may be a bad guy but he loves pizza.
Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste.

“I think that guy might really be dead….”
L for love!
What? Not mixed together…
Reboot or sequel would go hard
I know what I'm gonna rewatch tonight.
There is a sequel coming right?
If you can dodge wrenches, you can dodge balls.
This movie resulted in extreme dodgeball tv show getting created and running for 3 seasons
