Shares the title with the second novel book of Fantozzi, written by Paolo Villaggio itself.
Differently than in Fantozzi (1975), Giuseppe Anatrelli (Luciano Calboni) is not dubbed by Gianni Marzocchi but plays with his own voice.
The Capri hotel where Ugo Fantozzi (Paolo Villaggio) and Miss Silvani-Calboni (Anna Mazzamauro) are on holiday is actually the Hotel delle Nazioni in Rome.
The night club "L'ippopotamo" where Ugo Fantozzi (Paolo Villaggio), Luciano Calboni (Giuseppe Anatrelli) and Renzo Filini (Gigi Reder) spend the night was actually the well known piano bar "Capriccio" in Rome.
The Russian movie the clerks are forced to watch by professor Guidobaldo Maria Riccardelli (Mauro Vestri) is titled La corazzata Kotiomkin. The title spoofs Bronenosets Potemkin (1925): the decision of inventing a parody was due to the fact that they weren't allowed to use footages from the original Russian movie. Also the name of the movie director was spoofed: original Sergej M. Eizenstejn became Serghei M. Einstein. The scene spoofing the one of the Potemkin Stairs of Odessa was purposedly filmed by director Luciano Salce in front of the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte e Contemporanea in Roma and then the film was artificially aged. The scene of the mother's eye stars actress Alba Maiolini. The soundtrack is taken from the promenade Pictures at an Exhibition (1874) by Modest Petrovic Musorgskij. The movie is stated to be made of 18 reels in order to mark the clerks' exasperation, but the original Russian movie is actually only 75 minutes long.
