    • Trivia
      Joe E Brown liked to use a different catch phrase for many of his movies. In '6 Day Bike Rider' he used: "Yaaka Hula Hickey Doo, and away we go!"
    • Goofs
      Riders don't get thrown or slide far after some of the crashes during the ostensibly 'high speed' bike race, suggesting the bikes were going quite slowly and the film sped up to give the illusion of speed.
    • Quotes

      Harry St. Clair: Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Mr. Simpson who has so kindly offered to show me how to ride a bicycle. When he gets through, I know you'll love every bone in his head.

      Wilfred Simpson: Yeah? Well, look, if you had more bone in yours, you wouldn't have to wear your hat all the time to keep the woodpeckers away.

    Silly Fun from Joe E. Brown
    Hysterical Joe E. Brown plays a nearsighted buffoon in a series of pratfalls, sight gags filled with goofy characters participating in improbable events that might leave you giggling at all the silliness.

    Just a look at Joe E's silly mugging will make you smile.

    This is the type of small-town/countrified fun we came to know and love with the "Ma and Pa Kettle" series of films and in the 60's with such fare as the "Beverly Hillbillies", "Green Acres" and "Petticoat Junction".

    The difference here is that the humor is clean, innocent, charming...and old-fashioned. Which is just "hunky-dory" with me!

    Joe E. Brown's type of humor here may appear dated to some, but is has a place in the history of film comedy in reflecting the sober type of fun which has sadly fallen completely by the wayside in recent years.

    It's not a classic...but worth a look for all its screwball moments.
