      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.

    May be the best movies parents ever

    "Whip It" belongs to Marcia Gay Harden and Daniel Stern. They both give Oscar caliber performances. "Whip It" is a perfectly cast movie but none of the other actors can keep up with them. It's not even close. Harden and Stern are so real, so on point, it's great to watch. There's nothing better than a movie villain who's not really a villain at all. "Whip It" is currently in my Top Five sports movies. Great sports aren't really about sports.
