DodgeBall Easter Egg - Deus Ex

At the end of the movie, when they roll out the 5 million prize money in the chest, read the little metal plate on the side of the chest.
It reads "Deus Ex Machina". For those of you who don't know, that is the name of a Greek theatrical technique were some outside force, not directly controlled, intervenes with the plot and changes the course of events. Winning the prize and buying globo gym is an example of Deus Ex machina, and so they put it on the chest.

Just to be pedantic Deus Ex Machina, means the working of God not literally the machine of God. The unknown gamble which wins them the money is the working of God.

If you watch the bonus material on the DVD, they explain that they did this because the producers wanted a different ending than the original. So, they got their point across about how they were unhappy with the lame sell-out ending by adding that plaque. Their prefered ending is on the DVD, so you can compare the two.

Deus ex machina is a theatrical term originating from Greek and Roman productions, whereupon a god would be lowered onto the stage via machinery (hence, god from the machine) to resolve issues with the plot. In modern terms, it signifies an incredibly unlikely event suddenly occuring to resolve the plot.
