Trivia:
Original screenwriter Phil Alden Robinson was so offended by Sylvester Stallone's extensive re-working of his original screenplay that he briefly considered having his name removed from the film's credits. He was later convinced that having his name on a film of this "caliber" would look good on his resume.

Do you play an instrument?

Yeah, I can sorta play a couple of chords on this organ I have at home. Hey, I'll tell you what, why don't you come to my house and teach me a new song?

Suffers from "Rhinestone" sydrome., 5 April 1999

This film suffers from what we in the reviewing business call
"Rhinestone syndrome." This disorder refers to any movie that baffles you
so that you can't figure out if you're laughing at it or with it. It is my
belief that this is Stallone's most entertaining film, while it seems to be
his most critically despised. Seeing the Italian Stallion attempt such
unsingable classics as "Old MacDonald Had A Farm," and the immortal
"Drinkenstein," is only the tip of the iceberg with this gem. Is it
terribly written, or the most ingenius piece of cinematic art ever to be
created? Perhaps that's just another eternal question we have to ponder,
right up there with Rudy Ray Moore's "How, and Why?"
