    • 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!"

    The funniest Wilder/Pryor movie
    Just saw this movie again recently, and it still gets me laughing like crazy. This was the first Pryor/Wilder movie I ever saw, when it first came out on video, and it eventually got me to the video store several more times to see their other movies. Although all of them got me laughing (especially Silver Streak), this one was by far the funniest. It's definitely an underrated movie. I only wish Pryor and Wilder had done more together.
