Movie Goof (continuity error): During the final drive in the last game against Texas, on third down, Blake drops back to pass, you see 'Flattop' #55 drop back in pass coverage, a second later he is hitting Blake as Blake overthrows 'Sargie'.
Movie Goof (continuity error): In the final game when Andre Krimm knocks the football loose, #61 falls on the fumble but in the next shot Manumana #50 is on top of the ball.
The convict football team is made up of several real NFL stars, including Dick Butkus, Jim Kelly, Jerry Rice, and others.
Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When coaches Gennero and Rig are drawing up the offense and defense on the chalkboard, they incorrectly have the offense drawn up as "X"s and the defense as "O"s. It is a well known fact in the world of football coaching that offense players are "O"s and defensive players are "X"s.
