** Creator/RogerMoore declined to return for the sequel, feeling that the joke with his character had run its course. Upon learning that Music/FrankSinatra was in the film, he quipped, "Regrets - I've had a few".

-->I think she was scared to death to be up there against Burt and Dom. I don't want someone on the set that's gonna be that scared. So we went somewhere else.

* OnSetInjury: The first film's production became infamous for the horrible on-set car accident that resulted in stuntwoman Heidi von Beltz being left a quadriplegic, and the subsequent [[ScrewedByTheLawyers legal pounding]] she unfairly received which put her in dire financial straits for the rest of her life: In one scene, Seymour is forced to drive his Aston Martin blindly and weave through traffic after his smokescreen springs a leak. A second take at higher speed resulted in the driver crashing into a van that was part of the traffic; von Beltz, who was in the passenger seat.

** Played in a ''very'' interesting fashion with the guys in the stock car (played by Mel Tillis and [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeaguQuarterbacks Terry Bradshaw]]). In the first film, they're [[NoNameGiven not given names.]] In the second film, they are named Mel and Terry. The interesting part: 1)Terry has been recast (as the trope namer no less) and 2)he erroneously gives his name as Tony. (He's still listed as "Terry" in the closing credits.)
