    • Trivia
      Pamela Adlon plays 'Rocky' Barbella and 'John Ortiz' plays Luis Clemente. In real life, Adlon has a daughter named Rocky and Ortiz has a son named Clemente. While working together on Rake (2014), they realized they had given their children the same name as their characters.
    • Goofs
      When Bilko is playing craps in Vegas, several times he shakes the dice with both hands, holds them away from the table, and then throws them. This would never be permitted in a real casino.
    • Quotes

      Wally: Speaking of Doberman, can I please have another roommate?

      Bilko: Why, what's wrong with Doberman?

      Wally: He wet his bed!

      Bilko: Oh, well, once in a while...

      Wally: No, he did it from across the room.

    Don't look at the votes rating
    This is actually a very funny movie, one of Steve's funniest movies - up there with Father of the Bride. All the characters, Dan Akroyd, Phil Hartman, even an appearance by Chris Rock make this an extremely enjoyable movie. The Hover Tank was hands down the funniest part. Steve is full of laughs in this movie and acts out the character of Sergeant Bilko superbly. I have watched this movie at least four times and I was still laughing all the way through. This is in fact one of my all time favourite comedies. I have never seen the original and perhaps my judgement of this movie is therefore altered. Yet if you have never seen or even heard of the original and you like Steve's work then you will surely like this. Don't look at the votes rating I'll give this 8/10.
