Trivia:
The sound of the clock (when Angela Drake furiously writes out a receipt to Monty near the end of the film) comes courtesy of the New England Digital Synclavier. The Synclavier was an extremely expensive (approx. $200,000 in 1985 USD) digital sampler used not only in the production of many pop records of the time, but in sound design for motion pictures as well. moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Monty runs for mayor of NYC, the lawyers say that he is running TV ads in all 52 States. There are only 50 States in the USA. moreQuotes:
Monty Brewster: Why is it when there's trouble we're the ones that get into it. I mean, there's a bar full of people and we're the only ones in jail.Spike Nolan: I don't think it's racial you know, because I'm in here with you.
Monty Brewster: That's comforting.

This movie is consistent with it's humor throughout. So many 80s films start out with an original idea but seem to lose site of it halfway through as it becomes a love story. Not this film, Brewster is trying to spend that money right up until the clock chimes midnight. One of my favorites by Richard Pryor. John Candy only added to it's hilarity.
