Originally intended for Richard Pryor and Burt Reynolds to star in.

Share this

This movie was originally announced as both a starring vehicle for Richard Pryor and a remake of Laurel & Hardy's famous short subject The Music Box. The movie's title is a vague reference to Hardy's catchphrase, "Here's another nice mess you've gotten me into."

Goofs

When the thugs chase Spence and Dennis away from the race track in their car, they wind up crashing into a vending table full of stuffed toys. Part of the crash can be seen from inside the car. In the exterior shot that follows, the camera used for the interior shot can be seen in the back seat of the car.

Share this

After Dennis gets into the car Spence takes from the race track, a patrol car comes by. Spence grows nervous and backs out of his parking space before Dennis can exit the car. As Spence backs out and then switches to drive, the shadow of the camera can be seen on the ground.
