The entire town of Mount Dora, Florida, was painted pink for this picture.
According to Pulse the Magazine, "the film had been fraught with problems, from a disjointed script to its title - and marketing that implied it was just '...another car crash comedy romp'. This was compounded by the producers' decision to sell the video rights before Universal Pictures agreed to release the film. Angered by this, Universal minimized their marketing support and limited the number of theaters in which the film was shown. Withdrawn from theaters just a week after its release, the movie disappeared".
Two thousand extras and background artists in Mount Dora, Florida were paid around US $35 per day to appear in the film.
When released, its $24 million budget made it the most expensive comedy ever produced. It was a major failure at the box office.
The movie was originally rated R for language, but was toned down by editing out the F word to get the PG rating.
