    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Sylvester Stallone considers this the worst film he's ever done.
    • Goofs
      In the "locking his mom in the car" scene, Joe twists the car's lock-posts clockwise to supposedly unscrew them; this direction would tighten them down more, not loosen them.
    • Quotes

      Tutti Bomowski: His ass was the grass and I was the lawnmower.

    • Crazy credits

    • Alternate versions
      The original UK cinema version was cut by 6 secs by the BBFC to remove shots of a man's hand being crushed in a door and to edit the sounds of a man's scream and crash as he is thrown from a window. All video releases were uncut.

    Estelle Getty
    She is ...fabulous. And her chemistry with Stallone works in splendid way. A comedy in which the actors are more, more importants than the story. Not only because the plot is, in essence, a skinny sketch, but because each performance gives the great perspective about familiar aspects. A film about motherhood and a beautiful proof for the high skills of Sylvester Stallone for comedy. One of films who you adore. Scene by scene. Crazy, touching, seductive, lovely. And the fine occasion for Estelle Geetty to use her large experience in the roles of mother for a memorable comedy, having, fortunatelly, the ideal partner.
