- Filming took place in Mexico City, Mexico and San Diego, USA in late 1988.
- Chevy Chase and John Candy turned down the offered role of Wayne Zalinsky. John Candy, however, recommended Rick Moranis to the director, who ultimately landed the part.
- Screenings of the film in American theaters were preceded by the animated short 'Tummy Trouble' (1989).
