The film is a very close remake of the 1981 French film ''Knock on Wood'' (original title ''Film/LaChevre'' -- "the goat") starring Creator/PierreRichard and Creator/GerardDepardieu. It was the third and last attempt to remake Richard's comedies -- not the failure of ''Film/TheManWithOneRedShoe'' but still below the moderate success of ''Film/ThreeFugitives''.

* UnscrewedSaltShaker:
** Raymond decides to test Eugene's bad luck for himself and does this. He unscrews one salt shaker and puts it alongside a screwed one near Eugene, while Eugene is out. When Eugene comes back, contrary to Raymond's expectations, he grabs the normal one... only for a waiter to come by and ask for one of the shakers. Eugene gives him the one he's holding and then uses the unscrewed one. After dumping all the salt on his food, he calmly proceeds to eat it without any negative reactions. Obviously, this happens to him frequently enough that he's gotten used to the overly salty food.
** A variation of this trope is how the therapist showcases Eugene's bad luck to Raymond: The therapist damages one of the legs of a chairs in the conference room that they re talking in and sets it as normal, and when Eugene enters, the therapist asks Eugene to take a seat. ''Any'' seat (there are about two dozen in the room). Eugene picks the chair with the damaged leg, and when it inevitably gives out right under him, he just keeps on talking like nothing had happened (allegedly, it had ''also'' happened to him a lot).
