Fun Stuff

Trivia:
In a scene where Roxanne slaps C.D. in the face, Daryl Hannah accidentally hits Steve Martin's prosthetic nose, apparently dislodging it. As Martin reaches to his face, otherwise on cue, the viewer can see him fumble with his nose using his fingertips, rather than more naturally holding his assaulted cheek. more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Charlie Bales complains about "boring" numbers for astronomical objects, he opposes numbered objects like M31 to named objects like Andromeda. M31 is Andromeda. more
Quotes:
Mayor Deebs: I want something that says action with style. Kind of a GQ firefighter. more

Steve Martin is king, 23 January 2002
Author: (ajdagreat) from USA

If you don't like Steve Martin, watch this movie and you will. This movie so perfectly showcases his talents, both physical and verbal. The supporting cast is good too. The first scene with Daryl Hannah is great, as was the 20 better insults scene, but the highlight of the movie, at least for me, was Chris's first date with Roxanne. The whole thing where he's at her house is so hilarious. This movie is very funny, yet it never sacrifices the characters for humor. An underrated classic, sure to brighten your day.
