Line #2 Trivia/StayTuned


1	* AwesomeDearBoy:
2	** Peter Hyams directed the film because he loved the script so much that he lobbied at Creator/MorganCreek to let him direct it.
3	** [[https://archive.org/stream/starlog_magazine-181/181_djvu.txt According to an issue of Starlog Magazine,]] this is also why Creator/JohnRitter and Creator/PamDawber [[note]]who normally doesn't do feature films, as her filmography mainly consists of made-for-TV fare[[/note]] agreed to do the film.
4	* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget: $15-20 million. Box Office: $12 million.

As such, the WB logo is [[ProductDisplacement edited out in 2019 home video releases.]]
7	* CreatorBacklash: Bruce Broughton, who scored the film, called both the soundtrack album and the movie terrible. Indeed, the rap music that takes up eight of the ten cuts on the album don't really fit the movie (even though they're mostly relegated to the end credits).
8	* CreatorCameo: Creator/ChuckJones appears on a stamp in the animated sequence.
9	* HideYourPregnancy: [[https://archive.org/stream/starlog_magazine-181/181_djvu.txt According to an issue of Starlog Magazine,]] Pam Dawber was around four-and-half months pregnant at the time of filming, though she wasn't aware of it when she signed onto the film. This understandably took director, Peter Hyams, by surprise when he found out, considering all the big falls and stunts she did. This also prompted the wardrobe department to design her outfits that would hide her baby bump. As Dawber recalled:
10	--> '''Pam Dawber:''' I didn't know I was pregnant when I agreed to do this movie. When I found out, I just started counted the days out and thought, "Well, maybe I can just get through this". Here I am, very pregnant, and very finished with the movie.
11	* InspirationForTheWork: Tom S. Parker and Jim Jennewein, who wrote the original story for the film, described the film as "''Film/TheEvilDead1981'' meets Creator/MontyPython."

16	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:

18	** Creator/TimBurton was offered to direct this film, but he turned it down to direct ''Film/BatmanReturns''. Given his style of filmmaking, imagine how much different this film could have been had Burton accepted.
