Big Stan was particularly notable because it marked Rob Schneider’s directorial debut. Schneider also stars as the central character and was involved as a producer.
The film has an unusually large collection of martial-arts and combat-sports talent among its cast and stunt personnel. Names connected to the production include David Carradine, Randy Couture, Don Frye, Dan Inosanto and Simon Rhee, giving the comedy considerably more martial-arts pedigree than a typical slapstick film.
Another interesting detail is the combination of comedy actors and genuine combat-sports personalities. Bob Sapp, for example, plays Big Raymond, while UFC heavyweight Randy Couture appears as Carnahan.

Big Stan brings together two very different martial-arts worlds through David Carradine and Dan Inosanto. Carradine became internationally associated with martial-arts cinema through Kung Fu and later Kill Bill, while Inosanto is a renowned martial-arts instructor and was closely associated with Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do tradition.
