Trivia:

A scene in a pet cemetery has three dogs wearing yarmulkes at the grave of a dog named Spot Moskowitz. In one episode of "The Odd Couple" (1970), Oscar Madison had used that exact line describing a fictional scene as a joke some years before this film.

Goofs:

Continuity: Malamud pushes an air conditioner out of the wall and there is a rope tied to his foot, but as he falls through the sky light in the next shot, there is no sign of either the air conditioner that he pushed out or the rope that was tied to his foot.

Quotes:

Dr. Stephanie Brody: [quoting Simon] 'A romance at this point would be ludicrous and counterproductive to our studies.'
Dr. Simon August: I guess that... might have sounded a little... stuffy, Stephie.
Dr. Stephanie Brody: Slightly, Simon.

One Of The Best Spoof Movies I Have Ever Seen!!!! Totally Underrated!!

The title "Young Doctors In Love" is perhaps the most mis-leading title ever to be placed on a movie. It sounds like a passionate love story and not like a hilarious "spoof" movie that it is. This spoof movie is right up there with the "Airplane" and "Naked Gun" movies, and far better than the spoof movies of the 90's such as "Wrongfully Accused", "The Silence Of The Hams", "Hot Shots", and "Mafia". Rather than poking fun at other movies, "Young Doctors In Love" has an original idea for a spoof movie....A Total Satire On Hospitals!!!! It may sound crude or it may sound boring, but it's nothing less than hysterical and once you view it you'll find out for yourself. I loved Michael Richards' performance as a hit man who tries to assassinate a mafia godfather who is a hospital patient but has trouble finishing the job due to his mis-identity. Hector Elizondo is great as the godfather's son who dresses up as a woman to disguise himself from the other gangsters! There are great one-liners! Dabney Coleman was marvelous as an insane surgeon! Every doctor, along with the patients, have something comical about them that makes all of the jokes that are pulled in this film work 100%! If you love silly movies, then this one is a treasure! Stay tuned during and after the credits! Great fun from beginning to end!
