Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is essentially a Canadian tax shelter film—shot in Toronto with American actors to pose as U.S. content, a bizarre 80s industry loophole.
Mike MacDonald was primarily a stand-up comic; this rare leading role came after his Just for Laughs breakthrough, making the film a curious footnote in Canadian comedy history.
