This script was originally written for Woody Allen.
First major teaming of comedy duo Burt Reynolds' and Dom DeLuise. The two had appeared in Silent Movie (1976) but were not "teamed" as such. They would make numerous other pictures together, including Smokey and the Bandit II (1980), The Cannonball Run (1981), The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982), Cannonball Run II (1984) and All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989).
This movie represented the reuniting of old Hollywood stars Pat O'Brien and Myrna Loy. The two, who play Burt Reynolds' parents, had previously starred together in Consolation Marriage (1931) 47 years earlier.
As Sonny is going to look in the ICU, the hospital speaker says "Dr. Cambern, please call intensive care" and "Dr. Cambern, never mind." Donn Cambern was the film's editor. The messege was also said by Burt Reynolds.
James Best, who served as associate producer and has a small part as a pacemaker patient, was hired by Burt Reynolds to rewrite the script to make his character more in-depth.
"Marlon Borunki: You're right! It's not high enough!"
"[last lines] Marlon Borunki: You don't like me any more. Wendell Sonny Lawson: I like ya, Marlon. I like ya, I really do. Marlon Borunki: You do? Wendell Sonny Lawson: I do. But you gotta understand. Tell me you understand. Marlon Borunki: I understand. I love ya, Sonny. I really do. Wendell Sonny Lawson: I love ya to, Marlon. Marlon Borunki: I love ya, Sonny. Wendell Sonny Lawson: I love you too. Marlon Borunki: [hugging then Marlon suddenly pulls a knife] Surprise! [and chases Sonny down the beach]"
