Jim Belushi went to producer Edward S. Feldman's office and trashed his desk in protest of this film. Feldman was not in his office at the time but Belushi told Feldman's secretary "Tell him I was here."
For his role as John Belushi, Michael Chiklis gained 30 pounds and wore brown contact lenses over his blue eyes.
This is the first film Michael Chiklis auditioned for. He first auditioned in 1985, and was finally cast in 1988, beating out over 200 other candidates.
John Belushi's close friend Dan Aykroyd publicly stated his disdain for this movie, and said that he hired witches to put a curse on it. Aykroyd had J.T. Walsh fired from Loose Cannons (1990) because he starred in this film.
