Creator/ChevyChase hated the film, even during production, so much so that after a take, he mentioned to the producer to call him when a laugh track had been added, and stormed off in disgust.disgust. He only took part because Creator/WarnerBros had pressured him and the other actors of the first movie into making a sequel. None of the others bowed to the pressure though, and Warner Brothers attempted to '''sue''' Creator/RodneyDangerfield for refusing to participate after citing a lack of confidence in the script. When asked about it on ''Series/TheLateShowWithDavidLetterman'', his response was an apathetic "Yeah, yeah I think I'm in that." Even looking at his role in the film, he seems disinterested in being there.
** Creator/HaroldRamis also hated the sequel; once again, he only participated after Warner Bros. continued to put pressure on him.
** Creator/RobertStack stated (sarcastically) that performing in the film was the highlight of his illustrious career.
** Allan Arkush definitely feels this way about the film, if his Letterboxd review is any indication.

** The film was originally supposed to be a simple coming-of-age story about kids working at a golf course, with Danny (Michael O'Keefe) and Tony (Scott Colomby) as the main characters. It slowly morphed into a showcase featuring comedy veterans like Creator/RodneyDangerfield, Creator/ChevyChase, Creator/BillMurray (whose parts were originally supposed to be much smaller), and Creator/TedKnight. Much of the dialogue was improvised on the spot, and production was extremely disorganized.

** Creator/RodneyDangerfield was initially very nervous when shooting started, especially with it being his first major studio film, and when the filming for the Pro Shop scene began (the first scene he shot for), he was so shook that he couldn't even walk in front of the cameras. Harold Ramis took him aside and told him "Here's some details I'd like you to point out, don't worry about the script, just do what you do". As a result, most of his dialogue that you hear during that scene is improvised, and it helped relax him more during the rest of filming.
