Goofs
When Louie falls down the hill, he's in an open meadow with barely a tree in sight. As the men form a human chain to pull Louie out, you can notice trees in the background close to them. As the tree they're holding onto snaps, they fall and you can notice that they are in a open field again as they do so.

No, "The Wrong Guys" isn't the funniest movie, and it may not be the most well made of films, but it is a fun movie to watch. It's stupid, good, clean fun made by a bunch of comics who clearly just wanted to do a movie together.
Given the state of movies today, this one doesn't seem all that bad by comparison. Just how many sequels to "Scary Movie" can there be anyway? And "White Chicks"??? Give me a break. Give me Richard Belzer tumbling down a mountain-side and landing on a 30 year old pack of "Fizzies" any day of the week.
The Gruntski Bros. are hilarious, and John Goodman is so over-the-top BAD that it's good. The scenes when these guys were kids are freaking outstanding: Belz sneaking up on Louie's older sister is classic.
Does it get better than "The Wrong Guys"? Sure it does. But it gets a helluva lot worse too.
