    • Trivia
      In the step tournament there was 2000 extras used as the crowd, but they didn't know that this was a movie so they were really cheering and booing the steppers
    • Goofs
      When Mu Gamma Xi first confronts Theta Nu Theta in the yard, a banner declares the Wolves as 2006 champions. Later, when DJ joins the pythons, his pledge jacket says "Spring 06." If the Wolves had already won the 2006 championship, the semester in which the movie takes place could be no earlier than Spring 2007.

      April: Thanks.

      DJ: All right.

      April: [notices DJ jacket] Congratulations. Why didn't you tell me you pledged?

      DJ: Maybe I wanted to surprise you.

      April: As if I didn't already know. What?

      DJ: I like your earrings. They're nice. They're new, right?

      April: Yeah. You noticed them?

      April: Oh yeah?

      DJ: Yeah

      April: So, what's my favorite color?

    No prefacing...the movie was GOOD!
    Does this movie deserve a 2? No Way. I don't know why people feel the need to preface their voting. Did you like it? Yes. Period. I wasn't expecting a lot and perhaps that's why I had so much fun enjoying the film. I'm an indie filmmaker and sometimes it's a challenge to take off my filmmaker hat and just simply enjoy a movie. I was able to do it with this film. It was exciting, beautiful to watch and I was surprised by the storyline. People who slam a movie because it has a moral to the story or an uplifting theme should check themselves to see if they have too much cynicism running through their veins. As a black man, it was nice to see a film where characters used their wits and intelligence to avoid confrontation or deal with another's blatant disrespect. *****Oh, and the cinematography for this film was CRAZY!!! Great dance sequences, great camera work. It was SICK to the Nth!!!! Solid film to watch!!!
