    Edit
    • Trivia
      First American film to credit the stunt people in the credits (first British film to do so was the James Bond film Moonraker (1979)).
    • Goofs
      Throughout the film Howard strikes several rocks with tuning forks, and then listens to the tuning fork as if he's expecting a different tone when he hits different rocks. Tuning forks are made to resonate at a fixed pitch, so no matter what object is struck with the fork, it will always sound the same.
    • Quotes

      Judy: Love means never having to say you're sorry.

      Howard: That's the dumbest thing I ever heard.

    The most fun I've ever had in front of the TV set!
    I think this film is the funniest movie I have ever seen. No matter how many times I see it, I always find surprisingly fresh and completely hilarious. Barbra Streisand's performance is the centerpiece of the whole film. She simply glows with warmth, sexiness, and humor. There isn't a moment when we don't find her completely believable. Ryan O'Neal adds a great physical presence and is gloriously restrained. The film also contains some great supporting turns from Ken Mars, Liam Dunn, and especially Madeline Kahn, who nearly steals the movie in her film debut.

    On a scale of 10, WHAT'S UP, DOC? receives a perfect 10!
