This was Burgess Meredith's last film. He died of complications of Alzheimer's disease on September 9, 1997. He showed symptoms at the time of this movie's filming, and had to be coached during each scene in which he appeared. Meredith's acting talents are evident despite his failing mental faculties.
The eighth pairing out of ten movies of comic actors and great friends Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
Another sequel titled "Grumpiest Old Men" was planned. It was to be filmed in Rome and feature Marcello Mastroianni as Maria's former husband who contests her marriage to Max on the grounds that their divorce was never finalized. The film however was canceled due to Mastroianni's death in the following year and the box-office failures of Out to Sea (1997) and The Odd Couple II (1998).
There's one scene where Jack Lemmon has to sleep over at Walter Matthau's, and he has to deal with his extreme untidiness, much like their most famous movie, The Odd Couple (1968).
Max and John have for years been trying to catch a catfish they call "Catfish Hunter." It is named for Baseball Hall Of Fame pitcher Jim "Catfish" Hunter.
"Grandpa: What the... what the hell is this? John: That's lite beer. Grandpa: Gee, I weigh ninety goddamn pounds, and you bring me this sloppin' foam? John: Ariel's got me on a diet because the doc said my cholestorol's a little too high. Grandpa: Well let me tell you something now, Johnny. Last Thursday, I turned 95 years old. And I never exercised a day in my life. Every morning, I wake up, and I smoke a cigarette. And then I eat five strips of bacon. And for lunch, I eat a bacon sandwich. And for a midday snack? John: Bacon. Grandpa: Bacon! A whole damn plate! And I usually drink my dinner. Now according to all of them flat-belly experts, I should've took a dirt nap like thirty years ago. But each year comes and goes, and I'm still here. Ha! And they keep dyin'. You know? Sometimes I wonder if God forgot about me. Just goes to show you, huh? John: What? Grandpa: Huh? John: Goes to show you what? Grandpa: Well it just goes... what the hell are you talkin' about? John: Well you said you drink beer, you eat bacon and you smoke cigarettes, and you outlive most of the experts. Grandpa: Yeah? John: I thought maybe there was a moral. Grandpa: No, there ain't no moral. I just like that story. That's all. Like that story."
"[after Allie swallows a quarter] Grandpa: Relax. Kids swallow quarters all the time. Melanie: Really? Grandpa: Sure. If she craps out two dimes and a nickel, then you can start worrying."
