Fun Stuff

Trivia:
When Iggy first thinks that he & Dan stole $250,000 from the bank. Dan tells him the amount is $160,000. Then he goes to currently gagged Margaret Miller & asks her. After asking if it is $250,000, she shakes her had no. Iggy then asks if it is $200,000 she shakes her head no again. When he asks $160,000 and then she nods her head, yes. Each amount decreases 20%. 80% of $250,000 = $200,000. & 80% of $200,000 is $160,000. more

Remembered as a fun caper flick..., 14 July 2004
Author: gazzo-2 from United States

Saw this about '74 or so, it was great. Loved the garage door gags, the cats, Elsa and William, the two gals are fine, Hayley Mills especially. Dean Jones had to have been in about 100 Disney things back then, this was def. one of his better roles.

You also have to like what they did w/ the baddies, Neville Brand and The Riddler. They work well together and do a fine job w. the mix of comedy and real malice towards their captive.

The cat was a funny part, i remember them trying to 'paw print' him and them winding up plastering poor Dean Jones head to foot w/ the cat's inky paw prints.

Say what you will, Disney doesn't make things like this anymore and that is our loss.

*** outta **** it's fun.
