Trivialidades:

The money was not available to pay to the two main stars and the director their normal fees. They decided to split a percentage of the gross profits between the three of them and ended up making more than they would have made taking their fees upfront because the film was such a hit.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the washroom, the beer bottle on the towel dispenser disappears after the twins shoot their paper at the basket and then reappears in a subsequent shot.

Quotes:

Julius Benedict: The pavement was his enemy.

Jolly good fun.

Funny film and convincing acting from both De Vito and Schwarzenegger. The story itself seems a bit far-fetched although this is compensated by lots of hilarious moments and situations. The fun comes mainly from De Vito, he's at his best here. And if you don't like Schwarzenegger's action films - try this comedy! You'll sort of like him!
