The original version of the film was 12 minutes long and consisted of the opening montage, the XBox Live segment, JJ and Scott's interviews with themselves, and a montage of Mario Party photographs set to a Nellie McKay song. With the exception of the Mario Party montage, all of these segments appear in the finished version, but the X-Box Live voice-over was rerecorded by Scott (because JJ's original voiceover didn't use the Michael Moore voice), and the "interviewer" portions of Scott's self-interview were reshot with a clean-shaven Scott to match his appearance in the rest of the film.
The XBox Live hat worn by several characters was a free gift at the tournament shown briefly near the beginning.
Still shots of Pong were used because they didn't manage to obtain a decent copy of the game.
Alicia is labeled as an "entrepreneur" because the idea was that she paid for college by selling tickets for guys to watch her strip Mortal Kombat sessions. This didn't make it through editing.
The "winner's dance" scene was reshot several times until the dice actually produced a number that would make Katherine the winner.
