Many of the exterior shots were filmed at Holmby House, the massive estate owned by Arthur Letts, owner of Bullock's Department Stores. Harold Lloyd did not move into his Green Acres estate in Beverly Hills until 1929, five years after this movie was released.
When Harold is pulled over for speeding, the policeman mentions Barney Oldfield. Oldfield was one of the first famous race-car drivers in the U.S., and he set many speed records in a racing career spanning more than 20 years.
In the final chase, Harold makes use of at least thirteen different vehicles: eight different cars, a horse, a fire truck, streetcar, police motorcycle and a horse-drawn wagon.
The $3,000 advance royalty check Harold receives from the publisher would equate to nearly $46,000 in 2021.
