    • Trivia
      The project was initially proposed as a TV series but was re-tooled as a film after the plot seemed to be going nowhere.
    • Goofs
      Holland March yells for someone to call 911. It was 1977-78 and while 911 was an emergency system that was used as early as 1968 in Alabama, it was not formally introduced to Los Angeles until October 1, 1984.
    • Quotes

      Holland March: Look on the bright side. Nobody got hurt.

      Jackson Healy: People got hurt.

      Holland March: I'm saying, I think they died quickly. So I don't think they got hurt.

    • Alternate versions
      In the censored version, bikinis were put on for many of the nudity scenes. The opening did not include a center spread and the naked body of Misty Mountains.

    Great Cast all brilliant.
    My British/Irish humour puts me at variance with US comedy. This film was funny because of the subtlety and great acting. I rarely like films when a child tags along because often the child behaves with a pretence superior to the adults but in this film the young girl was outstanding and can be taken seriously and believable. This is one easy to follow adventure with lots of funny bits. The story is not the star, the cast and the way they blend is well done. Rarely do you see a film when the whole cast are brilliant.
