Trivia:
One of the film's original taglines was, "Please do not reveal the beginning of this movie to your friends (they'd never believe it, anyway)". This is a spoof of the tagline from 'Alfred Hitchcock''s Psycho (1960), which implored its audience, "Please do not reveal the ending of this movie to your friends (it's the only one we have)". moreGoofs:
Continuity: In the scene where Prof. Foot and Algernon are trying to get the ring off Ringo in their lab and Ahme comes in to rescue them, the door she enters is red. Then after she comes in, it is gray. moreSoundtrack:

A great movie. People here seem to complain the plotline was too silly. But keep in mind this was during the Bond phase(almost a forerunner to Get Smart). A sacrificial ring caught on the Famous Ringo's finger. A mad scientist trying to take over the world. An evil cult trying to kill our heroes. A girl from that cult secretly helping our heroes. Typical Bondish plotlines.
It also has great one-liners(Maybe it's that I'm just your average 14 year old American who loves British humor), and just weird ones that sound funny. "I don't subscribe to your religion." "He's out to rule the world if he can get a government grant." "Now, look here, Paul. I've had some great times with this finger. How do you know I wouldn't miss it?"
And, of course, greeeeeaaaaat music.
