First Uuno Turhapuro film not directed by Ere Kokkonen. The reason to this was that just few weeks before the start of the movie's filming Spede Pasanen and Ere Kokkonen got into an argument about money. It ended with Kokkonen walking out of the office with the final script of the movie that he had written. Spede had to write totally new script in about a week so the filming could start.
Most watched Finnish film of the year.
