    • Trivia
      John Belushi was originally cast in the role of Vic and Dan Aykroyd in the role of Earl. The two decided to switch roles just prior to filming the movie. As such, Belushi and Aykroyd starred in this movie acting against type, loud-mouthed Belushi played a quiet character whilst the meeker Aykroyd played an over-the-top character.
    • Goofs
      At the 10-minute mark, Elaine's photo partly shown at the bottom of the screen shows a portrait shot. Before that, it was a body shot.
    • Quotes

      Vic: In light of Earl's feelings, I think it would be best if we left.

      Enid Keese: Oh, no, no. Sit down, sit down. Let's finish this magnificent meal. Don't worry about Earl. He'll get over his feelings.

      Vic: He spurned my sauce!

      Enid Keese: No, he loves your sauce. He's just jealous, he can't cook.

    • Crazy credits
      A gunshot can be heard after the end credits.
    • Alternate versions
      The movie's original cut had a very dark ending with Earl getting killed, but the studio re-edited the film with a happy ending with Earl leaving home and joining Vic and Ramona on their adventures.

    A lost classic
    In the times I have seen this movie(too many to count). I always find more to it.I enjoy this lost classic from the late great John Belushi more than so many over produced conventional movies and more than almost all of the SNL cast made movies.Belushi and Acroyd,a duo who didn't do enough together.

    See this movie!
