    Movie Quotes:


    Trivia: There are 8 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • Kevin Smith originally cast 'Sean William Scott' as the main character, a goon called Buddy McKraken, in the hockey-themed movie Hit Somebody. In November 2010, Smith announced in his podcast Hollywood Babble-On that the role would instead go to Nicholas Braun who worked with him on Red State. Smith had previously worked with William Scott on Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Cop Out.
    • The character of Doug Glatt plays for two teams in the movie: The Orangetown Assassins, who wear orange and black uniforms; and the Halifax Highlanders, whose logo is the letter H with a dot on the right side and wings on the left. Both are allusions to the NHL team Philadelphia Flyers, who have a similar logo and wore a similar style of uniforms in the past.
    • The film is based on the book “Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey” by Adam Frattasio and Doug Smith. Footage from Smith's career as a hockey enforcer is shown during the films credits.
