In the theatrical trailer, the case members' names were first presented as anagrams, then rearranged to spell correctly. They were: fort red border - Robert Redford a york dandy - Dan Aykroyd kneel by sing - Ben Kingsely carney mend moll - Mary McDonnell rionveih irnep - River Phoenix I edit spin yore - Sidney Poitier ad variant thirds - David Strathairn
After the Universal logo, the first words on screen are A TURNIP CURES ELVIS; the letters then jump onto another line one by one, solving the anagram to form UNIVERSAL PICTURES (and PRESENTS is then added).
After the closing credits, and after the MPAA rating, a smiley-face appears, and then a directive to visit Universal Studios in Hollywood.
Next, BLOND RHINO SPANIEL becomes (A) PHIL ALDEN ROBINSON (FILM).
Next, FORT RED BORDER becomes ROBERT REDFORD.
The next several cast credits are seen only in normal spelling, but they each come and go letter by letter, as though each was being unscrambled from the one before.
Next A FEW ASTRAL CLERKS REPEL NEWARK is transformed in the same manner, becoming (A) LAWRENCE LASKER / WALTER F. PARKES (PRODUCTION).
