DodgeBall conveys the life of Peter La Fleur (Vince Vaughan) whose rundown gym, Average Joe's, is populated by a less-than-average clientele including a self-styled pirate, an ultra-obscure sports aficionado, and a pining high school nerd. Despite average Joe's posing little threat to Globo-Gym, a fitness Goliath owned by White Goodman (Ben Stiller), Peter's humble recreation center become a subject of much controversy when Goodman learns of his competition's less than meticulous bookkeeping. Goodman hires attorney Kate Veach to initiate a hostile takeover of the gym. Peter's ragtag groups of regulars, however, are less than thrilled with the prospects, and mobilize a showdown, winner-takes-all DodgeBall tournament against Globo Gym.

In the year 859 A.P. as the Tang dynasty is facing rebellion, Leo (Andy Lay) and Jin (Takeshi Kaneshiro) are a pair of lawmen who have been given the task of ferreting out the leaders of a revolutionary faction known as the Flying Daggers. Working on a tip that members of the group are working out of a brothel called the Peony Pavilion, Jin arrives there in disguise and is introduced to beautiful blind dancer named Mei. She is also the daughter of the rebel leader. Thus this political crisis leads to love in the wartime between Jin and Mei - a confrontation between 'duty' and 'love'.
