The shot in Bali is really done in Bali, Indonesia. The tag number on the trucks and cars begin with DK and followed by numbers and two letters. The DK tag number is for vehicle in Bali although one may find vehicles with that tag number in the neighboring island, Lombok, which shares the same culture as Bali. But since Lombok has no zoo, while Bali has, so the elephant used in Bali scene must be from the Taman Safari Zoo in Bali and so the shots took place in Bali. See more »

Not really of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if some would make that comparison. That old man also seems to have left his mark in history. And while I haven't read the book, I can tell you that the movie is funny in a weird way. Something that you might expect from something with a title like that.
The story moves along nicely with interceptions from time to time, that tell us what happened when he was younger. And also are there to show us what sort of character he is. It's tough to really threaten a man of his age. The actor playing him is much younger of course, which we can see when he plays the younger version in the flashbacks. The makeup is more than decent enough in the "now". Really nice and good, this movie is entertaining
