Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaVince Vieluf, who portrays Blaine Cody, did not appear on any of the film's posters or promotional material, even though he is one of the main characters. This was due to an agent who tried to secure star billing and failed. Vieluf has since fired the agent.
- GoofsWhen the monster truck jumps over Blaine and Duane in slow motion, Blaine's tongue piercing is missing.
- Quotes
Lucy Impersonator: How about a pit-stop?
Owen Templeton: Sorry, this is a one way flight. There's a bathroom in the back.
Lucy: The latch is broken. Anyone could just walk right in.
Owen Templeton: So? Look, you ain't got nothin' these other Lucys haven't seen before.
Lucy: [man's voice] Not necessarily.
- Crazy credits"No Animals were harmed in the making of this film ONLY ACTORS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS FILM"

Featured review
A human horse race!
AIRPLANE! crashes into MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD!
Duck and cover. The antics are silly, but they come at you fast and furious -- a transvestile Lucy (in a whole bunch of Lucys), squirrels, cows, balloons, a dead dog, a heart transplant, car wrecks, bowel movements, a bullet train, and much much more.
It's slapstick and double take time in this zany comedy about human greed and just plain old stupidity. The story line gets pretty ragged at times but it is funny. And it even has a message.
If you want to lose yourself for two hours in a nutty comedy, this is a good bet.
