Masi Oka, Terence Stamp, Dwayne Johnson and Dalip "The Great Khali" Singh will also star. Bill Murray and Patrick Warburton make cameos in the film, as does Bernie Kopell, who played Siegfried in the original series. A nod to the original TV series star also may be present in the film.
Shooting began March 21 2007 and wrapped on June 25, 2007.[1] It is rated PG-13 by the MPAA "for some crude humor, action violence and language."[3]
