Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKathleen Turner once said of this movie, "After Body Heat (1981), I got a lot of offers but none of the films were good enough. I wanted this part because it's a comedy and because the character was so outrageous. I thought if I was very brave, I could do some extraordinary things with it. It wasn't a run-of-the-mill token female role."

- Quotes
Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: Little girl.
Little Girl: Yes sir.
Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: I want you to do something very important, alright?
Little Girl: OK.
Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: I want you to run home and I want you to call the E.R. of North Bank General Hospital, 932-1000. Tell them to set up OR6 immediately and contact anesthesiologist Isadore Turek 472-2112 beep 12. Have him send an ambulance with a paramedic crew, light IV, D5NW-KVO. You got it?
Little Girl: E.R. North Bank General Hospital 932-1000. Setup OR6. Contact anesthesiologist Isadore Turek 472-2112 beep 12. Ambulance with paramedics and light IV, D5NW and KVO.
Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: That's good.
Little Girl: Sounds like a subdural hematoma to me.
Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: Oh it does, does it? Well, it's not your job to diagnose!
Little Girl: But I thought...
Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: You thought, you thought... just go! Three years of nursery school and you think you know it all. Well you're still wet behind the ears. It's not subdural hematoma, it's epidural! Ha! God damn that makes me mad!
- Crazy creditsAt the end is shown: Merv Griffin did not turn himself in and is at large. If you have any information as to his whereabouts, call your local theatre manager
- Alternate versionsIn addition to replacing the WB logos, the 2014 Warner Archive DVD is missing the first few notes of score on the first credit screen. Instead of two short grace notes and a heavy piano note, it's just the last. 1998 open-matte DVD has the original logos and those notes of score.
