Trivia:
Robert Goulet plays Priscilla Presley villainous love interest in this movie. Years earlier, Elvis Presley, Priscella's famous then-husband, once shot his TV because Robert Goulet appeared on it. That TV is now a collector's item. moreGoofs:
Continuity: In this movie, Frank calls Ed's wife Edna, but in the first one, Ed's wife name is revealed as Ethel. moreQuotes:
[Hector Savage is in a house surrounded by armed police... he makes his demands]Hector Savage: I want a car out front, something fun, a Porsche, then I want a plane ticket to Jamaica... And I want a nice hotel, no touristy place... Something really indicative of the people and their culture.
Ed Hocken: Can't do that, Savage! We're calling your bluff. Now put your hands on top of your head and come out!

This film is all about sarcasm. Sarcasm at its best. Even with regards to that conspiracy against the renewable resource energy proponents, the intent was to make fun of the stereotypes in our society of who's supposed to be perceived as good and who's the bogey. It's all about making fun of the modern stereotypes, of the modern cinema, of all the taboos that you are usually not inclined to make fun of. The only message in this movie if there is one, is that the world has gone crazy, that trying is not worth it and it's better just to go with the trends, that stupidity rules, and that anyone who takes anything seriously in this movie is especially stupid.
