#TBT TEN YEARS AGO: DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story was the precursor to such hit films as Anchorman, Blades of Glory and Waterboy. Most of these films starred a combination of Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell and put a satirical spin on such sports and games as figure-skating, dogdeball, basketball and others In Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story the audience follows a group of misfits who enter a Las Vegas dodgeball tournament in order to save their cherished local gym from the onslaught of a corporate health fitness chain. If you are a fan of Benny Hill, SNL or Mad TV, you will surely get a few chuckles at this dil that opened in theaters ten years ago – June 18, 1994. It was so successful in the box office that it spurned a spinoff – Dodgeball 2 (no release date is set)

This is still one of the classics in underdog films, not just for its inspirational value, but its comedy too.
