    • Trivia
      The Manson Sisters were played by Rachel Piplica and Kristen Adolfi--better known as Iron Maven and Krissy Krash of the Los Angeles Derby Dolls. The pair skated for the Hurl Scouts in the film and in real life skate for the Tough Cookies, the team on which the Scouts were based.
    • Goofs
      In the final bout scenes, a row of "dummies" watch the bout instead of actual people. The "dummies" are mixed in with the actual crowd but due to editing the row of "dummies" was not edited out.

    Wonderfully made movie
    Love whip it. Its one of the rare movies that stand out from the crowd. Love those. Drew Barrymore did great as director. I was shocked that this was her directorial debut. Cause how great the movie was, I actually believed that she was a veteran behind the camera.

    Wonderful directing, great story, awesome cast, spectacular movie! I give it 8/10
