Trivia:
Jerry Maren (the pitcher in the kitchen baseball scene) was actor in the movie who was originally in The Wizard of Oz (1939), where he played a Munchkin in the Lollipop Guild. He later said he regretted making this movie because it was in such poor taste and nothing remotely like that ever happened while filming the original movie. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: The movie suggests that The Wizard of Oz (1939) went into production after Gone with the Wind (1939), when in fact it was the other way around. moreQuotes:
Henry Hudson: You are bad little people, you deserve to be short![after being catapulted onto a chandelier]

That's right...this movie is as campy and goofy as you can get and one almost wonders why the stars that were in it (at the time) decided that THIS was a film that they wanted to be in...but...to watch it again...it's almost like a precursor to a Seinfeld episode whereas the many plots all come together at the end to make a very funny and often overlooked film...come on...if Rocky Horror is regarded as a classic, why can't this film?...it has a plethora of midgets, Japanese tourists and spies...Chevy Chase in his prime...and is a takeoff of the Wizard of Oz?...how much more odd can you get...a definite rental that grows on you!
