Gérard Depardieu offered to sing a song on the soundtrack for the credits as he had for My Father the Hero (1991). Instead, the Screenwriters begged him to perform "Thank Heavens for Little Girls" during a talent show. It was later referred to as the funniest scene in this movie.
The name of the tropical island resort, at which Andre and Nicole vacation, is never mentioned by name at any point, although it was revealed in the credits, that the filming was on-location in the Bahamas.
The Baha men provided most of the soundtrack for this movie, with the exclusion of the musical score, and Gérard Depardieu's musical performances.
