The final film varies greatly from the originally intended cut. Several clips were removed as a result of Knucklez having a falling out with a business partner and most clips of his family were removed after his wife filed for divorce and refused to allow them in the film. This time was filled with other B-Roll shot during the making of it, and the ending was changed totally. The original ending saw Knuckelz in Walter Day's jersey, proclaiming himself to be the "New Walter Day"
