But because she has a drinking problem (and, in fact, happened upon the head precisely because she was trying to sneak some booze), the rest of the family just assume that she's experiencing a psychotic reaction as a result of her alcoholism.

** The character of Tommy Spinelli is obviously indebted to JoePesci's many [[HairTriggerTemper short-tempered]] mobster characters. In fact, a gag credit at the end of the film lists "Tommy Devito" (Pesci's character in ''[=GoodFellas=]'') as a bodyguard for Spinelli.
** Also, this is hardly the first time that [[TheChase Kristy Swanson has had a rich idiot father and gone vacationing in Mexico]].

!!Contains examples of:
* BilingualBonus: Some of the dialogue spoken by the Mexican characters is untranslated from the original Spanish (which doesn't hurt the film too much, because their comments tend to be [[SmallReferencePools popular Spanish phrases that most English speakers know or at least have heard of]]).
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Admit it: you laughed your ass off at "Mister Head Man."
* DeadpanSnarker: Whenever David Spade shows up in a film, you can count on it.
* HurricaneOfPuns: "''Heads'' up! Stop a''head''. Anybody need to use the ''head''?", etc.
* HypocriticalHumor: "Didn't I tell you to watch your fucking language?"
* ILied: When Laurie finds one of the heads, she screams loud enough for the entire hotel staff to hear. Charlie quickly grabs Laurie and muffles her mouth with his hand just as one of the employees opens the door. Charlie reassures him that everything is fine, prompting the employee to leave. Then Charlie tells Laurie that he will let her go if she promises not to scream again. Laurie gives her word - and then, once she is free, immediately resumes screaming!
