When Vincent is thrown back through the glass in the office door in the "No Respect for Logic". The stunt was performed by Danny DeVito himself, without the use of a stunt double.

Arnold Schwarzenegger later worked again with Marshall Bell in 1990's "Total Recall".

Goofs

Up until Vincent delivers the Cadillac, he understands that he is getting 5 million dollars for it. But near the end, in their new office, he is moping over not being able to keep the 4 million dollars. It is never explained what happened to the missing 1 million.

Share this

Vincent is shown feeding his cat he named "Julius". This is an odd choice, given that "Julius" is a female, as indicated by her calico colouring. All three-colour cats are female.

Share this

When Julius drives the car on two wheels, the camera films Julius close up with one hand on the steering wheel and his other hand holding onto the cars front window, but in the long shots, the stunt driver has both hands on wheel.

Quotes

Vincent Benedict: Women love men who are mysterious and devious. It keeps them on their toes. It excites them. You know what I mean?

Share this

Vincent Benedict: [impressed with Julius's fighting abilities] You could be a boxer or something. I could be your manager.

Share this

Marnie Mason: [Linda sees Vince on the street and is thrilled to see him] Vince!
