    • Trivia
      The film originally ended with the destruction of the world, but test audiences didn't like it, so a new, happier ending was shot on a soundstage in Burbank.
    • Goofs
      When Fitz-Hume throws the live grenade back into its box and the Russians notice, two seconds before they scream you can hear a faint leading echo of that scream. This is due to use of spooled analog magnetic tape when magnetic state on one layer of tape in the spool influences the state of another. It is most noticeable after long silences like this scene. This flaw survives uncorrected even to HD versions shown on cable.
    • Quotes

      Russian Interregator #2: Every minute you don't tell us why you are here, I cut off a finger.

      Emmett Fitz-Hume: Mine or yours?

      Russian Interregator #2: Yours.

      Emmett Fitz-Hume: Damn!

    • Crazy credits
      In the end credits, Bob Hope's name appears on screen and then after a few seconds an exclamation mark is added.

    Hilarious
    I'm surprised this movie isn't higher rated. No, it's not "Lawrence of Arabia" but not every movie has to be "artistically respectable". Just look at the names of the two main characters, Emmett Fitz-Hume and Austin Milbarge, and you know what you're in for.

    Aykroyd and Chase are hilarious and this movie is a laugh a minute. Yes, there are dumb jokes, slapstick humor, ridiculous scenarios and odd cameos (doctor? doctor?)...But that's what's great about it, you just turn your brain off and take it in.

    I've seen this movie a hundred times and could watch it a hundred more, I guess it's one of those "love it or hate it" things. But "we mock what we don't understand".
