THE BACK OF THE BOX
WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    Will Ferrell (Old School, Elf) is Ron Burgundy, a top-rated 1970's San Diego anchorman who believes woman have a place in the newsroom - as long as they stick to covering fashion shows or late-breaking cooking stories. So when Ron is told he'll be working with a bright young newswoman (Christina Applegate) who's beautiful, ambitious and smart enough to be more than eye candy, it's not just a clash of two TV people with really great hair - it's a war! Filled with wicked wit and slapstick humor, Anchorman is the year's most wildly irreverent, must-see comedy hit!

• Look for a giant wave of cameos including Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson, Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Tim Robbins.
• Amy Poehler had a role in this film that ended up being completely cut out of the film.
• The jazz flute scene in the restaurant is an obvious parody of the band Jethro Tull, Ron even yells "Hey Aqualung" in the middle of his performance, a direct line from the song Aqualung by Jethro Tull.

• This film was pitched to Dreamworks reportedly more than 20 times and was rejected repeatedly due to the fact the studio did not believe a movie about a news anchor would make any money. However after the success of Old School and Elf the studio green lit the picture and the film grossed nearly 90 million dollars in the U.S. alone.
• At the end of the film in there is an out-takes reel, in the middle of them there is an out-take from the film Smokey And The Bandit 2 with Burt Reynolds, which incidentally was the first film to ever feature an out-takes reel.
