The makers of the children's film "The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3-D" were sued in June 2005 by 180-pound professional wrestler Dean "Shark Boy" Roll over using his trademark name in the movie's title. "The character is something I had trademarked because I believe in it," Roll told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "That's why I knew I had to protect it." Although Roll wanted Dimension Films and Miramax Film Corp. to remove his name from the film's title, the movie opened as titled in the summer of 2005.
