Tracy Morgan shot the whole movie with an ankle bracelet on his ankle, where if he didn't leave the set to go straight home, he was going to jail.
Tracy Morgan claims that he cannot go to jail because they will "make me a woman", in remake The Longest Yard, Morgan plays an inmate that dresses and acts like a woman.
The trivia item on this page about Tracy Morgan's "damn ankle" was written by Ice Cube himself during a video for Vanity Fair's YouTube page.
When the film's trailer was first made available on Apple.com in December 2007, the version that was uploaded was mistakenly missing all background music. This made the trailer awkward and uncomfortable to watch, since the dialogue and comedic sound effects played over complete silence.
The third film Ice Cube and Clifton Powell work on together.
