Trivia:

Rodney Dangerfield was going to come back to play Al Czervik again for this movie, but rejected the role because the writers (Harold Ramis and Peter Torokvei) would not let him tweak the script. As a last resort, Jackie Mason accepted to play the role, but as Jack Hartounian.

Goofs:

Factual errors: When Peter Blunt is on the phone, complaining that the power to Hartounian Enterprises has been cut off, he's using a cordless phone that wouldn't function in a power failure.

Quotes:

Cynthia Young: Oh, shut up, Mary Frances, you spoiled, snotty, superficial, little bitch!
[Cynthia leaves]
Mary Frances 'Miffy' Young: [offended] *What*!

Sub-Par

"Caddyshack II" tries to continue the comedy of the first, but never does really come together the way it was intended to. Chevy Chase is the only returner from the original and this hurts the film. Jackie Mason, Robert Stack, Jonathan Silverman, Dyan Cannon, Randy Quaid, and Dan Aykroyd do their best, but the material is just not present. The direction is also poor as few viewers will really care what happens by the end of the movie. 2 stars out of 5.
