According to Gene Wilder's autobiography "Kiss Me Like A Stranger" (2005), this was the picture in which he and Gilda Radner (who was married to G.E. Smith at the time) met. The two, who would later marry, quickly became friends.
The characters Kate Hellman and Michael Jordon in this movie were played by Gilda Radner and Gene Wilder respectively. In real life, Radner, who was already married, and Wilder fell in love, and later Radner divorced her husband and married Wilder.
Some "hanky panky" occurred during the creation of this picture's marketing materials. On an alternate movie poster, Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner are seen flying a helicopter in a chase sequence involving another copter. No such scene exists in the movie. A helicopter and the Grand Canyon are seen in the movie, but Wilder and Radner fly through the Grand Canyon in a light aircraft flown by a pilot, but there is no helicopter chase sequence. As such, the tagline shown on this poster, "something funny's going on here" rings true for this poster's truth-in-advertising.
This was to be another Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor star teaming, but according to dvdverdict.com, for some reason, Pryor backed out, and his part was re-written to be a female, and it went to Gilda Radner.
A financial disaster at the box office, Gene Wilder said it was one of the worst movies in which he had ever starred.
"Ransom: What's your connection with Janet Dunn? Michael Jordon: [nonchalantly] She's my brother."
"[Michael and Kate are left in control of a small plane with a pilot who has had an apparent heart attack after a bout of burping and belching. A voice on the radio told them they're entering prohibited government airspace and, in grabbing the radio and handing it to Kate to talk, Michael broke the cabling to the transmitter] Michael Jordon: I knew this would happen! I dreamt about this all my life! Kate Hellman: Get ahold of yourself. Michael Jordon: Since I was a little boy, I dreamt this was gonna happen to me! Kate Hellman: Just get ahold of... Michael Jordon: Wait a minute. Ask Mr. Puckett: do I bring it in nose first or tail first? Kate Hellman: Michael he's *dead*! Michael Jordon: *Don't* say he's dead! Ask him! Kate Hellman: I can't ask him; he's dead! Michael Jordon: Will you shut up and ask him? Kate Hellman: [shouting] Mr. Puckett! Should he bring it in nose first or tail first? [no response] Michael Jordon: [calmly] What'd he say? Kate Hellman: [pounding Michael, screaming] *Michael, he's dead!* Michael Jordon: [in angry denial] He is not dead, God-! Kate Hellman: Yes he is! Do something! Michael Jordon: [fumbles around the controls] Where are the wheels? Kate Hellman: I don't know. Where are the wheels? Michael Jordon: Where are the wheels? Kate Hellman: [sarcastically] Oh, why don't you ask Mr. Puckett where the wheels are? Michael Jordon: Ha, ha, ha! And why can't I ask Mr. Puckett where the wheels are? Miss Smartass? Kate Hellman: Ah... Michael Jordon: Go on, say it! Kate Hellman: Oh, because he's dead. Michael Jordon: [re-angered] Will you stop saying he's *dead*? He has *gas*!"
