Did you know

• During filming, Maureen O'Hara would often tell John Candy that he reminded her of Charles Laughton, citing that underneath the clown character, had existed a powerful, complicated actor. She told him to trust his talent as an actor, and not always play the clown.

• The producers of the film did not include a trailer on location for Maureen O'Hara in their budget. John Candy was furious that the producers were showing someone of her stature such disrespect, and he gave her his own trailer. The producers finally caved in, because they couldn't have Candy, the star of the film, without his own trailer.

• Practically the entire crew that worked on this film worked on Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992).
