Jane Krakowski was supposed to do one of Big Z's girlfriends voices, the scenes with her in it were recorded, but later scrapped because the director Chris Buck thought that it was focusing too much on Big Z when he wanted the story to be focused on Cody Maverick. One of Big Z's girlfriends are still visible in the movie.
