    • Trivia
      Trio of gangsters shared more than a passing resemblance to The Three Stooges.
    • Alternate versions
      At least two distinctive versions were made over the years, differing in tagline: one uses "mint", while another one uses "sweet". The difference is only in the narration, though, as "sweet" is written in both versions.
