The scene filmed in O'Neil's house was filmed in one of the buildings owned by publishing company, Agora Inc, located in the historical district of Baltimore City called Mt. Vernon. The majority of the scene was filmed in the conference room. Training and practice took place at Glen Burnie High School, in Glen Burnie MD. The Football coach worked with the cast and crew working on football plays. The film is set in Washington D.C. but was actually filmed in and around Baltimore including the Baltimore Ravens' stadium. When coach McGinty (Gene Hackman) is interviewed at halftime during the Dallas game, he responds with "Miles and miles and miles of heart." This is a reference to {A statement he made to Shane Falco when McGinty told Shane he was being cut. That Shane had the miles of heart necessary to be a professional quarterback} the song another hapless Washington team (the Senators) sings in the movie Damn Yankees! (1958). The dance that the players are doing to the song "I Will Survive" is actually the "Electric Slide," a popular party dance, which is very easy and can be taught even to young children, which is probably the reason it was used. The actual football scenes were filmed during the Baltimore Ravens halftimes during the preseason. During filming, Keanu Reeves was offered a tryout with the Baltimore Ravens. Fumiko's war cry, "Nan desu ka!" in Japanese actually means "What is this?" The Japanese name Fumiko is really a female first name. Keanu Reeves plays a former quarterback from Ohio State. In Point Break (1991), Reeves's character was also a former quarterback from Ohio State. The lunch scene during the practice was filmed in the Press Lounge at PSINet Stadium. Keanu Reeves gained 23 pounds for his role as quarterback Shane Falco.

The song "Anything You Want" was played at the very beginning of the very first episode of the show and it was also played again at the end of the last episode of season 10 (which at the time was the end of the show for good). # # The show was originally going to end after 10 seasons but after the series finale aired, The CW network renewed the show at the last minute and the series finale was changed to the 10th season finale. Out of the four original series to debut on The WB's launch season, this show was the only show to get renewed beyond its first year. While the exterior of the house used is actually a real house, interiors are filmed on sound stages in West Los Angeles. # # Series co-star George Stults got the role of Kevin Kinkirk through the help of his younger brother (actor Geoff Stults) who had guest starred on the series several times before George was approached to join the cast as Lucy (Beverley Mitchell)'s love interest. # # When the role of Martin Brewer (Tyler Hoechlin), the son of an U.S. soldier originally went out to be cast in May 2003 for the next season the character's original name was Joe. He was also supposed to be a bad kid who would create a lot of trouble for Ruthie Camden (Mackenzie Rosman) and the rest of her family. Although, once actor Tyler Hoechlin was cast in the role they changed the name of the character as well as the personality of the character to fit more into the family fold. # # In real life Beverley Mitchell (Lucy Camden) is older than her co-star Jessica Biel (Mary Camden). But on the show Jessica Biel's character Mary is the older sister, while Beverley Mitchel's character Lucy is the younger sister. # # Barry Watson (Matt Camden) is the only series regular to have ever written (7.8 "Peer Pressure") and also direct an episode (9.16 "Brother Love") of the series. # # The fictional town of Glen Oak where the series is based in is supposed to be located somewhere in Southern California, according to series creator Brenda Hampton. # # In the 7th season series creator Brenda Hampton created the role of Chandler Hampton (played by Jeremy London) and purposely gave the character her last name to fit more into the show as Rev. Eric Camden's ('Stephen Collins') associate pastor. # # Writer 'Ron Zimmerman' who wrote episodes for the series in its first season later on became a recurring character on the series as the character Doc, a cancer surviving patient that Camden family befriends. Stephen Collins (Reverend Eric Camden) was offered the role of Eric Camden two days before the pilot episode was filmed. He never auditioned for the role. The next day he met the entire cast in Aaron Spelling's office and read the script out loud with them. It was then when he accepted the role. During the fourth and fifth season of the series there was much controversy over co-star Jessica Biel's (Mary Camden) unhappiness over the show and her character Mary. She attempted to leave the show by getting fired when she posed for Gear Magazine to upset producers and network executives to let her out of her contract - which she'd later regret, as she admitted in later interviews and was now contented with the series. Series creator Brenda Hampton got the idea of Rev. Eric Camden and his wife Annie Camden becoming pregnant and having twins in the third season from her sister who had recently given birth to twins at the time. « Previous | 1 | 2 | Next » Does this make Shane Falco a Raven’s Legend?

Running time 118 minutesCountriesUnited KingdomUnited StatesLanguageEnglishBudget$50 million[1]Box office$50.1 million[1] The Replacements is a 2000 American and British sports comedy film directed by Howard Deutch. It stars Keanu Reeves, Gene Hackman, Brooke Langton, Rhys Ifans, Jon Favreau, and Jack Warden in his last film appearance. The movie was loosely based on the 1987 NFL strike, specifically the Washington Redskins, who won all three replacement games without any of their regular players and went on to win Super Bowl XXII.[2] Though the film is a story of the replacement players, the Falco–Martel quarterback controversy is quite similar to the one in the post-strike Washington controversy between Doug Williams and Jay Schroeder. Hackman narrated the episode of NFL Network's America's Game: The Super Bowl Champions devoted to that team. Shane Falco, born in Appleton, Wisconsin, was a QB for the Washington Redskins from 1983 to 1987. During the spring of 2000, Keanu Reeves played him in a fictional film directed by David Flinch. PlotAn unnamed fictional pro football league is hit with a players' strike with four games left in the season. Washington Sentinels[3][4] owner Edward O'Neil calls a former coach of his, Jimmy McGinty, asking him to coach the Sentinels' replacement players for the rest of the season, adding that winning three of the last four games will get the Sentinels into the playoffs. McGinty accepts on the condition that he can sign the players he wants without O'Neil's interference. McGinty pulls together players of varying talents who he believes can make a winning team. For quarterback, McGinty chooses Shane Falco, a former All-American from Ohio State whose career went to pieces after a lopsided Sugar Bowl loss; he now lives on a houseboat in a D.C. marina and makes a living doing hull maintenance on private yachts. Falco initially refuses, but McGinty persuades him, believing that Falco can still become the player he was meant to be. The striking players greet the replacement players at their first practice with hostility, calling them "scabs" and throwing eggs at them; Falco, who arrives late, gets his truck overturned. Head cheerleader Annabelle Farrell, who has to find new cheerleaders since the originals apparently walked out in sympathy with the players, hires strippers when the other tryouts go terribly badly. After practice, she drives Falco home and surprises him with her vast football knowledge. The replacements' first game is against Detroit, and the team struggles to get along. Falco tries to rally them, but on the last play, he falters when he sees a pending blitz and calls an audible, which falls short of the winning touchdown. McGinty berates Falco, telling him, "winners always want the ball when the game's on the line." At a local bar, the replacements are brooding over their loss when some of the striking players, led by their prima donna quarterback Eddie Martel, arrive and taunt them. Falco stands up to Martel, a brawl ensues, and the replacements are arrested, but in jail they bond, dancing together to the Gloria Gaynor song "I Will Survive" in their cell before McGinty bails them out. Farrell meets Falco the next day and tells him that he's the first quarterback she's seen in a long time who cares more for his teammates than himself, and a connection starts to grow between them. The next day, in a "chalk talk", when McGinty asks the players what their fears are, they begin to realize they're all afraid of failing in their second chance at football. McGinty inspires the team to use their shared fear as a source of strength. In the Sentinels' next game against San Diego, they fall behind again but are able to come together and win on a 65-yard field goal by their Welsh kicker, Nigel. Falco meets Farrell at the bar she inherited from her father and now runs. After a short conversation and a beer, they share a deep kiss. The Sentinels nearly lose their next game on the road against Phoenix, but win on a couple of improbable plays. When they return to D.C., O'Neil tells McGinty that Martel has crossed the picket line, as has the entire Dallas team—the league's defending champion and the Sentinels' next opponent. O'Neil shows no confidence in Falco's ability to beat Dallas, and hints to McGinty that he could be fired if he refuses to start Martel. McGinty gives in and tells Falco, saying that he has the "heart" Martel lacks. Falco then gives his teammates the news. While disheartened, they give him a farewell toast. Too downcast to face Farrell, he stands her up for the date they had planned. In the first half of the Dallas game, Martel clashes severely with the replacement players, blames them for his own mistakes, and smugly ignores McGinty's play calls. The Sentinels trail Dallas 17–0 at halftime. On the way to the locker room, McGinty tells a TV reporter that what the team needs to come back and win is "miles and miles of heart". Seeing this on television, Falco returns to the stadium, and McGinty promptly benches Martel. The rest of the team throws Martel out of the locker room. Back on the field, Falco finds Farrell and apologizes to her, giving her another deep kiss. McGinty tells the replacements that the strike will officially end the next day, encouraging them to give everything they have left. The Sentinels rally back to 17–14 with less than a minute left. Falco calls for a deep pass to the replacements' deaf tight end, Brian Murphy, and hits him with the game-winning touchdown pass as time expires, earning the Sentinels a playoff berth. McGinty narrates that the replacement players left the field with nothing but the satisfaction and personal glory of living the athlete's dream of a "second chance", as the replacements dance on the field to "I Will Survive".
