Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn a radio interview broadcast May 20, 2013 on BBC Radio 2 in the United Kingdon, Samantha Bond described some of the behind-the-scenes tensions during the making of this movie. She stated that Burt Reynolds' "high maintenance" behavior on-set bore some resemblance to the actions of his character. This behavior, Bond stated, included locking himself in his trailer and having to be coaxed out by the director or producer, not making much of an effort to mix with or get to know many of the rest of the cast (Samantha Bond excepted), and not learning his lines.
- Quotes
Jefferson Steel: You know what happened to the last director who thought they were smarter than me?
Dorothy Nettle: They won an Oscar?
- Crazy creditsThe end credits for the main cast appear one at a time as the actors in the play take their curtain call and bow to the audience in the theatre or, alternatively, in twos as they're sitting in the audience, applauding.
Featured review
this beer tastes like Pig ****
A Film that i saw advertised never got to see,but came in the cinemas and went out again straight away.
i found it for a fiver in tescos and thought why not, a good casting, reynolds as lear playing with a British tour de force.
A wonderful i think piece of British cinema, some great one liners and reynolds doesn't steal the show, he shares it with the pigs and his sterilised hot tub and a wonderful cast who all admitted they were starstruck working with "burt reynolds".
even the dog gets some great lines in my opinion watch it, its one of them little gems that i will go on about.
with such trash in the last few year being made Indiana jones and the X files ripoff (thank god i didn't buy it or even cinema to view that ) around this film is a tonic to watch.one i can watch again and again i think.
thank you "you bunch of amateurs".
