* CreatorsOddball: Credited screenwriter Kenneth Lonergan is mostly known for writing (and occasionally directing) serious drama films. This is his only credit on a purely comedic live-action film.[[note]]He was credited as co-writer on ''Film/AnalyzeThis'' the previous year, but wrote a more serious crime drama that was rewritten into a comedy by Creator/HaroldRamis. And ''much'' earlier than that, Lonergan wrote a couple of episodes of ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}''.[[/note]]

* StarDerailingRole: Served as this for Jason Alexander and Rene Russo, who played the Boris and Natasha duo.

* AshcanCopy: The film was made quickly so that Universal could hold on to the film rights to Jay Ward's ''Rocky and Bullwinkle'' franchise (Disney had the ''George of the Jungle'' film license and had released their film several years earlier). After this film and the earlier ''Film/DudleyDoRight'' movie flopped, Universal just gave up. They would eventually reobtain the rights to ''Rocky and Bullwinkle'' and its spinoffs when they purchased co-copyright holders (with the Jay Ward estate) [=DreamWorks=] Animation with their [=DreamWorks=] Classics/Classic Media division in 2016.
