Trivia:
Initially written as a serious science-fiction thriller, Ivan Reitman hired David Diamond and David Weissman to re-write the project as a comedy. The original writer, Don Jakoby, actually enjoyed the changes so much, he continued working on the film alongside the other writers. more
Goofs:

Moments later, when they do the tough-guy move racking the slides in unison, no shell is ejected from any of the shotguns. more
