Trivia / Modern Problems

• Executive Meddling: The film was recut before release to avoid an R rating to the dismay of the film’s writers, who felt the best laughs in the film were lost.
• On-Set Injury: Chevy Chase was nearly electrocuted during a stunt in the sequence in which he is wearing "landing lights" and dreams that he is an airplane. The lights' wiring short-circuited through his arm, back, and neck, which caused him to lose consciousness.
