Trivia:

On the DVD trailer for this film there are several scenes that never appear in the movie. For example, there is a clip with Jules tells Mox: "You woke up in the twilight zone....West Canaan, sex and football. That's all there is." Another scene where a girl in the pep-rally asks Lance to sign her ass also never appears.

Goofs:

Factual errors: When Mox confronts Billy Bob after the lost game, Billy Bob is shooting his trophies with a shotgun. When we first see Billy Bob shoot the shotgun, there is no recoil. Every subsequent gunshot produces a visible recoil.

Quotes:

Sam Moxon: I raised you to be a winner, so dammit boy, win!

For Someone Who Hates Football..........

I found this film to be really entertaining.At first,it sounded very poor and I just totally had low expectations on it when I had the idea of even looking at the case,MUCH LESS watching it.There were some things very gross,unnecessary,and unprofessionally done about this film.For the long run though,I really enjoyed Varsity Blues.The only way I knew this film existed,was because of some references to it in other movies.(Not Another Teen Movie,Mean Girls)When I read what it was about I thought,uh uh,no way,never will I watch this film.Soon,I softened up a bit on it and I was putting it in to watch it before long.Good film,nice acting,I DEFINITELY would recommend it if you like sports.Kind of had a sub-plot love story though,which "I" DID find amusing.
