The line "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life" was originally in the 1997 Terry Pratchett Discworld book Jingo.
John Leguizamo's character mentions Romeo and Juliet. He played Tybalt in the 1997 film
The character of Axe (or the way the character is presented) bears quite a few similarities to the character Grossberger in Stir Crazy (1980), played by the late Erland van Lidth. Like Axe, Grossberger also is a lovable gentle giant, and although everybody is scared of his size and imposing presence, he's actually very protective of those around him. He never speaks in the film (just like the Axe character) and the only time he makes a sound is a scene where he sings with a lovely voice, also exactly like the Axe character.
Grossberger also holds the record of "most axe murders in the Southwest", so even the "Axe" moniker is related to him.

When asked, John Cena also claimed that there would be soapy stuff in the film, and that kids will laugh because of that and the aforementioned poopie stuff.
