* UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump won Worst Supporting Actor at the UsefulNotes/{{Golden Raspberry Award}}s for his cameo AsHimself in this movie. After he won the 2016 U.S. presidential election, he retroactively became the second of three U.S. Presidents to have won Razzies: UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan received a special "Worst Career Achievement" award at the original ceremony in 1981, not long after he was inaugurated as President (as he had famously been an actor before entering politics), and UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush won Worst Actor for 2004's ''Film/Fahrenheit911'' (again, As Himself). Trump's win also made him the only one to win before taking office, since this film predated his full entry into politics by over 20 years.
