The stadium used for the outside shoots is the unique Montreal Olympic Stadium, built for the 1976 Olympics.The films story was conceived by Busy Philipps, who fleshed out the screenplay; 2 co-writers Jeff and Craig Cox, however, dropped her name from the script.The film was produced by MTV Films, Red Hour, and Smart Entertainment and released on March 30, 2007, by Paramount Pictures.From the start, the two skaters are clearly polar opposites with different backgrounds; Chazz grew up on the streets of Detroit and is a self-taught skater, while Jimmy was adopted by Darren MacElroy, a wealthy man who adopts children showing stupendous athletic ability.
While standing on the awards podium after both skaters tying for gold, the two have an argument that escalates into a fight and ends with the World Games mascot being accidentally set on fire. As a result, the National Figure Skating Association strips both men of their medals and bans them from mens singles competition for life. Darren immediately disowns Jimmy and leaves him stranded on the side of the road. ![]() In hopes of entering the upcoming World Winter Sport Games, Jimmy contacts his old coach, Robert, whom Darren had fired prior to the ban because of the tie, but is unable to find a partner. Jimmys search for a last-minute partner leads him to Chazz, and Robert convinces the two to skate as the first-ever same-sex pairs team, because the regulations fail to state the genders of the pairs. However, it is also dangerous: the only attempt of the maneuver was behind the Bamboo Curtain in North Korea, and resulted in the man decapitating the woman with his skate blade. Nonetheless, they decide to attempt it as Robert is convinced that two males would be better suited for the move because of the physics of a same-sex team. In the meantime, brother and sister competitors Stranz and Fairchild Van Waldenberg, who are worried that their spot as the top team is threatened when Jimmy and Chaz perform well at a Winter Sports Games qualifier, command Katie Van Waldenberg, their younger sister, to disrupt the duo by going out with Jimmy and then having sex with Chazz. Katie gets Chazzs attention after attending a sex addicts meeting as the newest member, then invites Chazz to her room, and tries to seduce him. Chazz refuses out of respect for Jimmy, delighting Katie, but cannot resist grabbing her breasts. Jimmy witnesses this and is outraged at Chazzs and Katies betrayals. Chazz attempts numerous times to apologize to Jimmy, but is unsuccessful. ![]() Fairchild, seeing the two doing well, throws pearls onto the ice, causing Chazz to trip and break his ankle, rendering him unable to perform his role in the Iron Lotus. In the end, Jimmy reconciles with Katie, and the two pursue a relationship. As for Stranz and Fairchild, they end up arrested due to the kidnappings and Stranz accidentally shooting a mascot. Stranz and Fairchild begin arguing, then kiss each other incestuously before they are handcuffed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Jimmy and Chazz receive the gold medal and fly off into the sky via rockets on their skates. During the credits, Hector is seen playing with dolls of himself, Jimmy and Chazz. Blades Of Glory Script Movie For NerdistHowever, in an oral history about the movie for Nerdist, Craig Cox fully attributed the idea of Blades of Glory to his brother, Jeff Cox. The oral history has since been updated with information about Philipps contributions. Phillips discusses the whole incident in her memoir, This Will Only Hurt A Little, stating that she should be credited as a co-writer in the credits and that she had registered the idea with the Writers Guild of America West at its inception, having come up with the concept even suggesting Ferrell as one of the two co-leads (alongside Ben Stiller ) while she and then-boyfriend Craig were watching tv together when he visited her in Vancouver, during production of White Chicks.
