Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

The hula hoop montage took six weeks to shoot and involved 1,200 extras, making it one of the most expensive silent-film homages ever constructed.

Cultural

The film was a massive box office bomb, earning only $3 million against a $25 million budget—yet it's arguably the most visually ambitious comedy of the 1990s.
