Massimo Boldi, Ezio Greggio, Isaac George, and Sergio Vastano were working together in the successful TV show Drive In on private channel Italia 1 at the time of filming.
Producer Aurelio De Laurentiis decided to add the sentence "I giovani di successo" ("The Successful Youth") after "Yuppies" because he wasn't sure that the term was well-known enough in Italy at the time the film was released.
Actor Jerry Calà stated that many gags were continuously improvised.
The movie was initially planned as a drama inspired by The Big Chill (1983).
Second movie collaboration between Massimo Boldi and Christian De Sica, the first one being I pompieri (1985) in which they hadn't any common scene. The two actors became then a comedy duo which is still active as of 2021.
