Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: As Harry falls out of the vent and onto the apartment manager knocking him out, you can briefly see the side of the apartment manager's face is different. This shows that a stunt double was used. moreQuotes:
Eliot Draison: It's a pterodactyl egg. It's fossilized. It's ninety million years old. In the entire world, only two of these have ever been found.Harry Crumb: You know, that may be worth something.

If you're a fan of the late John Candy (as I am) you will most likely love this movie. Candy stars as Harry Crumb, a bumbling detective who comes from a line of great detectives. In his investigations, he uses a great many disguises (much like Chevy Chase in "Fletch"). Crumb is totally clueless, and Candy really takes a funny script and makes it even more funny. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should the viewer. I give this a 9 out of 10 because it kept me laughing the whole way through.
