- Actor Allusion: The first time we see Tim Curry he is in women's clothing.
- Once again, Frank McRae is Da Chief.
- All-Star Cast: As mentioned above, this movie has quite a few big names in it, although some of them could be considered to not have really made it big until after this movie.
- Billing Displacement: At least some video releases have cameo Bruce Willis' face take up most of the cover.
- Deleted Scene: When shown on TV, there's some new content. This includes the start of a day at Luger's house (complete with his promiscuous daughter hiding a guy she slept with the previous night), a scene towards the end where Colt has an out-of-body experience, and many more. As with The Naked Gun, these scenes are unfortunately left out of the DVD release.
- Stillborn Franchise: Apparently, a sequel was planned, but the first movie only made $28 million at the box office, so the plans were scrapped.
- Throw It In: Dr. Leacher falling flat on his face while restrained was not performed by a stuntman. This is the actual actor accidentally falling down and hurting himself. The director found it too funny to pass up and included it in the movie.
