Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Kevin McDonald's first major film role after leaving The Kids in the Hall, and he reportedly took it specifically to work with Dangerfield and DeLuise.
Released during the peak of Scary Movie-era parody saturation, it bombed so hard it became a VHS curiosity—ironically predicting the very mob-movie revival it was mocking.
