Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Oktoberfest scene at the beginning of the film was not staged. The filmmakers hid eight cameras to prevent people from knowing they were being filmed.
- GoofsIn the scene at Myerson's house in Savannah, Kendig is getting ready to start typing and glances at a photo of Myerson. When the photo is first shown, Myerson is almost smiling, but the photograph changes several times after this. In fact, each change is intentional and is intended to show Myerson getting more frustrated and downtrodden as the plot progresses, culminating in the picture being shot in the forehead by one of the FBI agents (as explained in the introductory video on the DVD).
- Crazy creditsThe credits for the production crew members were mixed with those of the on-screen talent. "Lucy Saroyan -- Carla [Fleming]" (Walter Matthau's stepdaughter) had the role of the Seaplane Pilot, while "Richard Moore -- Seaplane Pilot" was the real-life pilot. The two helicopters in the film had real-life pilots who had no lines or face shots. If actor Philip Voss had a role as helicopter pilot, his scenes were cut. Two other men were listed as real-life helicopter pilots.
- Alternate versionsDVD version contains both the original theatrical soundtrack and a redubbed soundtrack used for television release (replacing profanity and other objectionable dialogue).

Featured review
I doubt anyone will read this far into the reviews, but for the record I felt I had to contribute. We all of us watch many, many movies, and some of us feel motivated to review some or all of them no matter the quality. I HAD TO REVIEW THIS, despite the fact I seldom bother, for I genuinely feel it was a delight. Previous reviewers will provide the details, and for example, the first review by dbborroughs has it completely right: wholesome, intelligent fun that is so seldom achieved by more "modern" movies that seem compelled to add gratuitous violence, explosions, one-liners, etc. There are shortcomings that could be improved, of course, but in the end they don't matter. The viewer is left with a smile that didn't depend on potty jokes or shock tactics for stimulation. Brilliant. The overall work is a true gem. Enjoy!
