Trivia
In George Burns' last starring role, he played an 81-year-old when he was 91.

Goofs
For David's big race, Charlie gives him the running shoes that he wore back in 1928, however the leather on sixty year old shoes would have deteriorated to point that the shoes would be unusable.

Quotes
David Watson: I don't want to hit a lady, Horton, but I wouldn't mind hitting her.

Alternate versions
For its official rental video release, the film has been licensed to MovieTees for its Watch & Wear video shop promotion. In addition to the theatrical logo plastered with its home video counterpart at the opening, it attached the promo's "stay tuned" portion that leads into the film itself. The promo begins as it slides up at the tail end of its closing credits.

18...or 81?

This is the best movie of all the switched personality movies. It's so funny because its true! The funniest part was when that old guy did the dance at the party and all the girls wanted to go out with him. I hope I can do that when I'm 81! This is the best thing Charlie Schlater has done since "Fish Police". I think everyone should go out and see "18 Again!", again!
