* TroubledProduction: The film had a couple of problems from the beginning. It was originally intended as a vehicle for both Creator/JohnCandy and Creator/RickMoranis in the early 1990s, but both turned it down. It went into turnaround until 1995 when Creator/JoePesci and Creator/DannyGlover, who had worked together in ''Film/LethalWeapon2'' and ''[[Film/LethalWeapon3 3]]'' signed on. The movie was originally directed by John G. Avildsen, but he was fired after just two weeks of filming, which he immediately paid his $2 million salary, and was replaced by Christopher Cain. In the middle of the shoot, a stuntwoman died when a boat that was made to jump a ramp in one of the film's scenes landed on top of her, while her husband and father-in-law were also injured. It went overbudget to a total of $53 million and was delayed for over a year when Creator/{{Disney}}, which was the original distributor for the film, had it switched to their Creator/HollywoodPictures label. The film was released in late May 1997, where it died a quick death at the box office and earned a savaging from critics.
