Trivia
Elliott Gould was the original voice of the horse. After a poor test screening of the film, the horse's half of the script was rewritten by Andy Breckman in an effort to make the film funnier. John Candy was hired to re-record the horse's voice. He ignored the new script and improvised the dialogue instead.

Quotes
Fred P. Chaney: Do you want a hamburger?
Don: No. Do you want a people-burger?

Talking horses are funny

They ARE funny, right? Otherwise this film would never have been greenlighted, right? And Burgess Meredith worked for scale and no screen credit because he really BELIEVED in this project, right? Be that as it may, Hot To Trot was another bad career move by Bobcat Goldthwait, one of the most underrated comedians of recent years. And needless to say, it's not very funny, though it's perfectly harmless and will probably amuse the under 12 set.
