  23. ^ During the scene when Sharks' coach Tony D'Amato updates his team schedule. The San Francisco Knights appears on it. But at the final game in the film. The Sharks plays another team called Knights from Dallas. That blooper caused much controversy at the time. [1]

Under the law establishing the University of Louisiana System, no school can call itself "University of Louisiana" without a city or other regional identifier.
