A night shift guard in the insane asylum segment is whistling the song, "Every Which Way But Loose (1978)," from the movie of the same name, which also featured Clint Eastwood, Geoffrey Lewis, Dan Vadis, Walter Barnes, and Sondra Locke.
Scatman Crothers stated that his role as Doc Lynch was his second favorite after his role in "The King of Marvin Gardens (1972)."
When the gang goes out to kick up their heels, it shows them entering the "The Ranch Club" with the big horse in front. This is a real place, that's its real name, and it's still open in Boise, Idaho. However, the interior that is shown is another bar, about three miles away called "The Dutch Goose". It is also still open, and there is still the hole in the door where Lefty LeBow (Bill McKinney) gets his hook stuck.
Antoinette is said to be turning 30 years old where actually Sondra Locke was 36 at the time the movie was made.
