Continuity mistake: When Ben Stiller goes to the girl's house in the white suit - she slams his head into the wall and a blood/makeup stain shows up...when the camera angle changes the stain is gone. (00:42:05)

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story is Sports Comedy about an unlikely and unlucky group of oddball friends from a poorly-rated gym who enter a tournament to save their place from a greedy and manipulative businessman and his terrible team. What follows is pure comedy delivered by Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller and others as they Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and...Dodge their way into your hearts. A fun time.
Patches O'Houlihan: It's like watching a bunch of ret**ds trying to fuck a doorknob out there!
Question: Why did the treasure chest given to them at the end have "Deus Ex Machina" written on it?






Chosen answer: "Deus Ex Machina" means "God out of the machine." It's from Greek plays, wherein a god would appear at the end of the story to solve a problem. Nowadays it basically means that a totally new plot element appears out of nowhere and solves everything. It's an easy (and cheap) way out.
