Trivia
The producers of the film did not include a trailer on location for Maureen O'Hara in their budget. John Candy was furious that the producers were showing someone of her stature such disrespect, and he gave her his own trailer. The producers finally caved in, because they couldn't have Candy, the star of the film, without his own trailer.

Goofs
Danny's brother tells him he got Danny's boss to "transfer him to a precinct in Florida." City police departments are self governing -- there is no way anyone in the Chicago police department could transfer anyone to a precinct in another city.

Quotes
Danny: [Danny has just scored a date with Theresa and runs into some funeral attendees] Yeah! Oh... sorry... but I just got lucky in there with a girl.
[funeral attendees look shocked]
Danny: Not in that way... she does everybody in there... not in that way. But she probably did that guy there... I gotta go.

Candy makes it better

John Candy was a gift, he made any movie he was in better for just being in it. This is one of those instances. While the movie isn't bad, it wouldn't be remembered if it wasn't for Candy. Sheedy puts in a great performance in this and is always likable.
