The picture was completed in 1981 but wasn't widely released theatrically until two years later in 1983. In between, the movie had a limited release stateside in April 1982.
A fourth segment was made for the film by Henry Jaglom, a disaster movie parody called "The Bomb" starring Kenneth Mars, Allen Garfield, and Marcia Strassman. Images from the segment appeared in press materials, but it was deleted from the finished film.
First and final theatrical feature film directed by independent director Henry Jaglom for a major Hollywood / American movie studio.
Second theatrical feature film from the National Lampoon stable. The first had been National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) about four years earlier. The main movie poster even ran with the tagline: ''The first movie from National Lampoon since 'Animal House'.'' However, because of the failure of the film, it went straight to video in a number of markets and territories, thereby making Class Reunion (1982) widely being perceived as being the second cinema movie from National Lampoon rather than the third. ''...'National Lampoon Goes to the Movies' went straight to video in 1983'' according to the book 'A Futile and Stupid Gesture: How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed ...' by Josh Karp (2006).
The original title was "National Lampoon's Goes to the Movies". Despite the opening title card for the name of the movie stating 'Movie Madness', right at the start of the opening credits roll, there is still a close-up of a glossy colour card booklet which has the wording "National Lampoon's Goes to the Movies" on the front cover. This lingers for quite a number of seconds and very much outlasts the amount of time that the title card for the film's title ''Movie Madness'' is displayed for.
