Trivia

When Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske are initially being led to the Beerfest arena, the other members of Broken Lizard have cameos. Kevin Heffernan is a German woman putting a human leg through a meat grinder, Jay Chandrasekhar is a blind bearded man being circled by a singing boy on a tricycle, and Steve Lemme appears as a clown-like character sporting a strap-on.

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): During the quarters game in the American-German finale, the German requests that the table be put at "30 meters". The table is moved back, but nowhere near the 30 meter mark. See more »
