Trivia
At the British box-office in 1971 the movie out-performed the James Bond film Les diamants sont éternels (1971) but this was only because the Bond movie did not launch until December whereas this picture had debuted in the UK in July.

Goofs
When Blakey is thrown off the bus while Stan is performing the skid, he slides on the tarmac up to the insurance assessor. As he does so, the wheels on the trolley he is sliding on is visible under his coat as he stops.

Quotes
Blakey, Stan's Inspector: 'What's the matter with you, can't you drive? eh? Oh my god, look what you've done! Quick, get in that cab, pull away, quick! Hurry up!
Vera: I can't! Theres spiders in my cab!
Blakey, Stan's Inspector: Spiders? I don't care if you've got ants in your pants! You get in that cab and pull away quick!

Alternate versions
When originally released theatrically in the UK, the BBFC made cuts to secure a 'A' rating. All cuts have remained in all subsequent home video releases, rated 'PG'.

Great fun!

So what if this movie is non to pc and treats women as objects of lust. There are people who will hate this, moan about it, analyze and deconstruct it. IT'S A MOVIE!! If you don't like it don't watch it. Admittedly it is not to everyones taste but these will be the people who are too young to remember the series or the times. For the rest of us who do remember, we look back with nostalgia, see the old cars, advertisements the way people behaved and we smile. Harmless fun that does no one any harm. There is far worse on the screens now days, movies where every second word is a swear word, bullets flying, on screen sex. sometimes it's a breath of fresh air to see something that is a little different from a bygone age.
