Continuity: After Eugene backs the Jeep halfway off the edge of the cliff, Raymond ends up falling out the back of the Jeep, knocking the tail gate open. Raymond is hanging upside down by his foot which is caught in a strap of some kind. A minute later, we see a shot from Eugene's point of view and see Raymond's hands gripping the top of the tail gate which is in back in the upright (closed) position.

Eugene Proctor:
I am trained in martial arts. Judo, aikido, karate. The first thing they teach you is self-control. If someone calls you a jerk, you don't him them. You just walk away.
Large Man: Jerk.
Eugene Proctor: ...Ah! See? Complete control.
Large Man: Moron!
[Eugene walks into a door]

I didn't expect to like this film, but I have to admit that it was a better than average comedy, and I laughed several times even though I knew exactly what was about to happen. So on it's own terms, this is a good enough movie. However, I have a problem. The problem is that this American remake of "La Chevre" pales in comparison. There was just something about the pairing of Pierre Richard and Gerard Depardieu that easily outshined the American tandem of Martin Short and Danny Glover. Only watch this inferior version if you really hate subtitles, but instead of watching a great movie, you'll only be watching a good one.
