    • Trivia
      The project was initially proposed as a TV series but was re-tooled as a film after the plot seemed to be going nowhere.
    • Goofs
      Holland March yells for someone to call 911. It was 1977-78 and while 911 was an emergency system that was used as early as 1968 in Alabama, it was not formally introduced to Los Angeles until October 1, 1984.
    • Quotes

      Holland March: Look on the bright side. Nobody got hurt.

      Jackson Healy: People got hurt.

      Holland March: I'm saying, I think they died quickly. So I don't think they got hurt.

    • Alternate versions
      In the censored version, bikinis were put on for many of the nudity scenes. The opening did not include a center spread and the naked body of Misty Mountains.

    Started out pretty OK
    I Really liked this movie,all the way up until shortly after the one hour mark. Than it just took a 180 turn for the worse,and ended up getting really really stupid.Which was quite annoying.

    In the beginning it was funny and charming and full of good quips back and forth, between the two leads.

    Some of the situations was a bit over the top,but you could live with em,cause the rest of the movie held up fine. But than comes the one hour mark,and things start going down hill. Up until now,Russel has been the smart one and Ryan was the dorky drunk guy. But than suddenly they both turn into dumb and dumber.And that just ruined it for me.After that I lost total interest in the movie.
