Trivia:
Those paying close attention would have noticed that the neighboring power station is a subtle rude joke. The smoking tower and the two domes below are amusingly shaped to resemble a penis and testicles. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Richie gets the pencil shot into his rear, he knocks over the table (which two guests are also sitting at), knocking over all the items on the table. Then Richie and Eddie fight in the kitchen, and it then cuts back to a reaction shot of the two guests sitting at the same table, only now the items on the table are all suddenly back upright and intact again. more
Quotes:
Richard Twat: That ring, do you want to put it in the safe?
Mrs Nice: I never take it off.
Richard Twat: Well... What about that watch?
Mr Nice: Oh, it's just a cheap copy.
Eddie Elizabeth Ndingombaba: It doesn't matter, the pawnbroker is very shortsighted.
Richard Twat: EDDIE! Eddie just means that you don't need a watch in paradise.

Guest House Paradiso is Rik's and Ade's finest hour, 29 August 2003
Author: ian-sturrock from Bath, England

Guest House Paradiso is Rik's and Ade's finest hour, given the big screen treatment it is way better than Bottom. I really do not understand why this film has such bad press is it Rik's reputation and his love hate relationship with the tabloids? The manic cartoonish violence, the bottom/toilet humour and schoolboy jokes are not everyone's cup of tea but Ade and Rik as their characters in the TV show are, are purposely absurd and unsophisticated characters, this is why internationally they are immediately recognisable and loved. Mayall and Edmondson do their best to craft a wonderfully crude film with humour that will be understood in ever country on the planet, if this is what they set out to do, to make an international popular hit, they succeeded hands down. So in my humble opinion this Guest House Paradiso is a stonking success and their finest hour.
