Trivia
Sylvester Stallone turned down the male lead in À la poursuite du diamant vert (1984) and the lead in Le Flic de Beverly Hills (1984) (before it was re-written as a comedy) to make this film.

Goofs
During the opening credits, the camera is reflected in the window of the helicopter they used to film the night-time scenery.

Quotes
Nick Martinelli: [singing "Drinkenstein"] Budweiser you created a monster / and they call him Drinkenstein / And the tavern down the street is the labba-tor-eye-ee / where he makes the transformation all the time / And a stein of Dr. Buuuud is a pint of monster blood / and it does effect me different every time / Budweiser you created a monster / and they call me Drinkenstein / And they call me Drinkenstein / I'm Drinkenstein! / I'm Drinkenstein!

This movie is just too funny!

This is one of the funniest Stallone comedies there is, if nothing else for the fact that Stallone is so bad at it! Imagine an NYC cab driver turned country & western singer? What could be better than that? Dolly provides a solid comedy performance as well. If nothing else check this out just for the laughs!
