Actors Huub Stapel and René van 't Hof later admitted that they reprised their roles as Johnny and Kees primarily because of the money. Van 't Hof even said that he purposely asked for a large fee, fully expecting the producers to turn him down, but to his surprise, they agreed and he could no longer back out. They quit the roles after the movie and did not participate in Flodder (1993) or Flodder 3 (1995), although Stapel had a brief guest role in the series. He later said in De Dick Maas Methode (2020) that producer Laurens Geels threatened to destroy his career if he walked away from the series, but Stapel laughed it away, knowing that Geels was bluffing.
Some scenes and jokes are direct references to the original Arrivano i Flodder (1986). In the first film, Ma Flodder kicks the dog away in the beginning of the movie; in the sequel, she tries again, but the dog gets the best of her, and grabs her foot. In the first film, Ma Flodder catches her son and daughter having sex together; in the sequel, when she hears that they went to the airplane toilet together, she comments "Are we gonna have this fooling around in the plane too?" In the first film, son Kees has a day dream where he pictures a couple of girls playing tennis in the nude; in the second, he has a similar dream about three girls playing basketball (even the music is the same). In both movies, this causes trouble with a group of local men, which finally culminates in a high-speed car chase that ends with the other party crashing into something. In both movies, a television crew needs to pay off the family to get an interview (even the interviewer is the same).
Since 5 years had passed between the first movie and the sequel, the roles of Toet and Henkie were recast since their original actors were considered too old to play children. Henkie was recast with Melle de Boer and Toet with Mandy Negerman. Both would play the roles again during the first season of the TV show, before literally outgrowing the roles as well.
Dutch singer and TV personality Gerard Joling plays a minor role as the co-pilot of the airplane the family travels on.
This is the only Flodder story which clearly seems to follow the continuity of an earlier story, while the third movie and the episodes of the TV show don't seem to show any kind of continuity at all. At the start of this movie, the Flodder villa is still in ruins after it was destroyed by a tank in the first movie. Also, grandpa Flodder is still absent after he was implied to be killed by a train in the first movie (which was ignored in all later Flodder productions). The only thing missing is Johnny's fiancee Yolanda, implying that the relationship failed anyway.
