-->'''Spade:''' Trouble started right away. Penelope told us right off the bat that she didn’t love ''Film/TommyBoy'' and that she knew how to make Chris and me funny. That’s where someone should have pulled the plug.

* CreatorBacklash: Creator/DavidSpade was disappointed by the final result of the film and feels that Penelope Spheeris was the wrong person to helm it.

* HostilityOnTheSet: Penelope Spheeris had notable disagreements with writer Fred Wolf and Creator/DavidSpade throughout the entire production of the film. Spheeris fired Wolf from the film three times (he was hired back twice by Creator/ChrisFarley and once by Creator/LorneMichaels), then refused to speak to him and finally banned him from the set. Her relationship with Spade was equally as tumultuous. Speaking to Farley's official biographer, she said, "I don't think I've ever even smiled at anything David Spade's ever done... I still have a recording of a message David left on my answering machine. He said, 'You've spent this whole movie trying to cut my comedy balls off.'" In that same book, Spade said the studio gave Spheeris too much credit for the success of ''Film/WaynesWorld'' (with him maintaining it was more because of his fellow ''Series/SaturdayNightLive cast-mates Creator/MikeMyers and Creator/DanaCarvey) and her decision to put more emphasis on the Donnelly brothers' relationship hurt the film.

* ProductionPosse: Another film by the comedy duo of Spade and Farley, with SNL Lorne Michaels again producing. Michaels had worked with Spheeris before on ''Film/WaynesWorld''.

* LoopingLines: A lot of the lines in the movie had to be dubbed in later because Penelope Spheeris didn't like the lines that were recorded first
