Given the critical and commercial success of the film, it could've been a CareerResurrection for Bowie as an actor, following his StarDerailingRole[=s=] in ''Film/AbsoluteBeginners'' and ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}''. Bowie and Jagger ultimately had to bow out of the film due to other commitments, a decision both men regretted later.

Once Caine learned that the villa on offer happened to be conveniently situated between the villas of two old friends, Creator/RogerMoore and Music/LeslieBricusse, he jumped at the opportunity.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: MissingTrailerScene: The teaser trailer features a sequence which does not appear in the final film. Freddy Benson and Lawrence Jamieson walk along a boardwalk, politely moving out of the way of other people, etc, with a voice saying something like "There are numerous distinguished gentlemen in the world... refined, cultured gentlemen... nice men... but nice men finish last". As the last few lines are spoken, Freddy pushes an old lady into the water, and Lawrence shoves a kid's face into his cotton candy. Creator/FrankOz has said that audiences were very surprised to learn that the scene was not part of the finished film.
