    • Trivia
      Some of the Medfield College exterior scenes were filmed in the Disney Studios courtyard. The background buildings were the old animation buildings on the corner of Mickey Avenue and Dopey Drive.
    • Goofs
      When chasing the invisible car, Dexter tells the other college students to keep their eye or for anything. Just after that the invisible cast drives through a puddle of water on the side of the road without having any effect on the tires becoming visible again. This should have happened since water is what neutralizes the invisibly spray.
    • Quotes

      Dexter Riley: Yeah but the main thing is I can make myself invisible! I mean can you image that? Look, look, look, human flesh, invisible!

    More Medfield College shenanigans
    Comedic take on the Invisible Man motif, featuring Disney's Medfield College gang of Dexter Riley, Dean Higgins et al. A good showcase for Kurt Russell's early work in comedy, before he started doing violent action heroes a few years later.

    This time, Riley (Russell) is one of several college students trying to win a scientific invention contest. Lightning strikes (literally) and he finds himself in possession of a viable invisibility potion. He is ready to wow the world with this scientific breakthrough, but then, some evil hi jinx by crooks intervene, setting up some weird moments, car chases, predictable slapstick, keystone cop style bumbling, and other tomfoolery. The invisibility special effects are cheap, but it doesn't matter.

    There are some slow points and lulls, but the good scenes make up for it. The golf sequences and the "invisibility presentation" bit are the funniest moments. The cast features some great character acting by Joe Flynn, Cesar Romero, Jim Backus, and William Windom.

    Brainless fun for when you're in the mood for 3 Stooges type slapstick.
