    • Trivia
      Gene Wilder went to the NY League for the Hard of Hearing to study for his role. There he was assigned to speech pathologist Karen Webb, who would ultimately become his fourth wife.
    • Goofs
      When Wally and Dave are about to break into the house of 1000 windows, Dave is carrying a big log and as he swings it around, Wally moves his head as if afraid to get hit by it. Wally is blind, so he wouldn't have seen it.
    • Quotes

      Dave: Don't we get a last request?

      Eve: What would you like?

      Dave: Would you scratch my nose for me?

      [Eve scratches his nose with a coin and then kisses him]

      Dave: You're a very sick woman.

      Eve: Thank you. Mr Karew, what would you you like?

      Wally: I suppose a fuck is out of the question.

      Eve: I'm afraid so.

    • Alternate versions
      In the original version, when Dave (Gene Wilder) impersonates a psychiatrist and asks Wally (Richard Pryor) to tell him the first thing he thinks of, Wally shouts "PUSSY!" In the television version, this is changed to "PASTA!"

    Underrated comedy
    This pairing of Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, while not "Silver Streak" and not the first half of "Stir Crazy", is still an amusing comedy with some absolutely hilarious moments. I mean, let's face it...the second half of Stir Crazy is as boring as it gets. This film lags in spots, but the chemistry of Pryor and Wilder does satisfy. Stay away from "Another You" (as I did). I figured that this film was as good as we were going to get from Pryor and Wilder. Was I right? I dunno. I stayed away from "Another You".
