I often hear quotes from the dodgeball comedy film when inviting others to play, since I first began playing at age 14 in 2001. The comedy film has helped inspire me to create a film about the sport uniting the world, with one team per country. We would use a style inspired by the NES Super Dodgeball video game, with one 8.5 inch rubber ball in play. Would you be interested in being the representative of your country? If so, what country are you from?

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball

I am from the US and here are my favorite Dodgeball quotes:

  • That’s a bold move, Cotton.
  • You had me at blood and Semen.
  • Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge
  • You gotta grab it by the haunches and hump it into submission.

I loved that game when I was a kid. We had names for all the special charge throws, like slow ball, lift off, and frisbee.

I always wondered where that version of dodgeball came from. I tried to convince my friends to play that way, but their argument was that they couldn't jump vertically 18 feet into the air.
