    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Based on Dan Aykroyd's personal experiences. In 1978, he was pulled over for speeding in a rural town in the Northeastern United States. The police officer took him to the local Justice of the Peace in the middle of the night for a trial.
    • Goofs
      When Chevy Chase is about to enter the mouth of the Bonestripper, we hear him scream things like "Oh, God, no," and "Please stop," but his mouth doesn't move.
    • Quotes

      Miss Purdah: [Chris is chained and Eldona is trying on outfits before him] Eldona, you know he's not supposed to see you this special day?

      Chris Thorne: Special day? What is it--Halloween?

    Wacky
    This is probably the wackiest movie I've ever seen Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase in, and to have them collaborate on this, of all movies, was a bit strange. The whole thing was odd. The very idea that some small village in the middle of New Jersey exists almost like the Bermuda Triangle where crooks and criminals go in and never leave is something from a horror movie. Then, along with the strange characters in this village of Valkenvania, a music video breaks out from Digital Underground: shout out to 2Pac.

    This script was written by Peter Aykroyd, Brother to Dan Aykroyd. Peter wrote a couple of goodies in "Spies Like Us" and "Coneheads," but this one seemed more like a teenage science experiment whereby he just mixed a bunch of random elements hoping for a grand explosion but getting nothing but a fizzle.
