Trivia
To get the film green-lighted by Paramount, Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker pitched it as " Animal House on a plane" - which, of course, was far from the truth, but the only way they could get the studio execs to understand it was a zany comedy. See more »Goofs
Errors in geography: The Peace Corps scene is set in Africa, but the sound of a kookaburra can be heard in the background. The kookaburra is an Australian bird. See more »Quotes

Crazy Credits
The closing credits are followed by a brief scene of the man in the abandoned taxi from earlier in the film, still waiting for the driver to come back and saying "Well, I'll give him another twenty minutes, but that's it!" See more »
