Fun Stuff

Trivia:
In this film, Harold Grisham, Donald Sinclair's lawyer, is said to have been "tragically born without a personality." This same joke was used in Sgt. Bilko (1996), also written by Andy Breckman. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When the truck gets stuck at the top of the tower, the rope coming off of the radar is shown slack. With the tension caused by the weight of the truck and rotation of the radar, the rope should be taut. more

FUNNY!, 8 December 2002
Author: dross27 from Washington, DC

This movie, for those of you old enough to remember it, will see the similarities to the old Spencer Tracy "It's a Mad Mad Mad World..." But this is a great time for the whole family. It includes a star studded cast, and the typical comedic gags that we have to expect where one of the Zucker boys is involved. One of the greatest things about this movie on DVD vs. seeing it at the theater is the outtake section on the DVD. I am a sucker for outtakes anyway, but once you've seen this film, and then watch this section, it is all the funnier! I also thought this was a great vehicle for certain members of the cast to do show their comedic abilities. Enjoy the film
