| Goofs | After Maurice's (Norman Wisdom) car explodes in the hotel car park Michael Cooper (William Katt) pulls him into his car and speeds away pursued by another car. Some distance down the road, Maurice skids round a corner leaving tyre skid marks on the road. There are already marks on the road as if from a first take. Maurice is forced to reverse back round the corner, skids round, leaving more marks and drives off with the other car in pursuit. By this time, there are more skid marks on the road than there should be, indicating that there'd been a number of takes. See more » |

| Quotes |
Arthur Clutten:
You on holiday too, Mr Cooper? Michael Cooper: No, I'm afraid not, I'm actually running away. Arthur Clutten: From what? Michael Cooper: Love, Mr Rigby, you must have been in love. If it doesn't work out you either kill yourself or you run away to forget. And its not in my religion to try suicide. Arthur Clutten: Sometimes living can be just as painful. See more » |
