All of the film's battles were very competitive in real life. The fight that breaks out during the first battle with Wade's crew was not in the script, but everyone was so mad at each other that they just started fighting. While filming the opening battle, the director would yell "cut", but Omarion kept battling with Columbus Short. Omari does a back flip, while at the same time Columbus does a move that looks like he is pulling David up. This was not in the original choreography; it was a true battle.
It took the dancers two weeks to learn the opening dance sequence.
Grossed $48 million from a budget of $8 million.
Hit the number one slot at the US box office during the SuperBowl weekend of 2004.
