- CuriosidadesChris Farley's final role, though he went uncredited. The film was released six months after his death.
- PifiasWhen Mitch and Sam leave jail and Mitch addresses his cell mates, his lips can clearly be seen to say "anal rape," but this is overdubbed with the words "the other thing."
- Citas
Mitch: [to men who just raped him] You fellas have a lot of growing up to do, I'll tell you that. Ridiculous. Completely ridiculous. Can you believe these characters? Way out of line. Way out of line. Have a good mind to go to the warden about this. You know what hurts the most is the... the lack of respect. You know? That's what hurts the most. Except for the... Except for the other thing. That hurts the most. But the lack of respect hurts the second most.
- Créditos adicionalesFunny outtakes from the filming play during the first half of the credits.
- Versiones alternativasThe BluRay/4K released by Vinegar Syndrome in 2025 contains two versions of the film: the theatrical version and a more explicit version nicknamed "The Dirtier Cut" which was the original cut of the film (intended for an R-rating) before it was edited down to achieve a PG-13 rating. Although the runtime of the two versions differs by only one minute, there are more than 7 minutes of alternate footage between the two versions (the PG-13 cut substituted tamer versions of the same jokes or replaced footage with alternate content, such as the bearded lady gag which only appears in the theatrical version). The "Dirtier Cut" was assembled from the original film negative found in the MGM vaults by archivist Oscar Becher and restoration expert Kurtis Spieler using a workprint tape as reference.

Reseña destacada
Most casual movie-goers do not appreciate the dry, sarcastic wit of Norm Macdonald. Many do not understand that his blunt, sometimes bombastic delivery is his trademark comedic style. While I would never call his style, "genius," he is certainly a master entertainer, in his own right. This style of his is an acquired taste. If you've managed to live your life without becoming the least bit jaded or cynical of anything, you may not understand Mr. Mcdonald's talent for humor. His coloring of even the most innocent scene with a dark innuendo or low-brow blurb is just so outrageous that we have no choice but to laugh. But those who do not understand, will find him abrasive or crass. It's true; he IS abrasive and crass, and in the most unfortunate situations he lets loose his abrasively crass innuendos and utters the most outrageous statements as facts only to correct himself by posing it as a question after he's already blurted out the first silly, obnoxious thing which comes to his mind. All this is assembled together with his honest expressions, common-everyday-Joe appearance, and expert comedic timing. Packaged within unlikely settings and a professional production, Norm Macdonald's comedic style is in the perfect element.
Dirty Work enlists the largest range of Norm Macdonald's skills of any one work I have seen. It is virtually a showcase for his talent. Unfortunately, it is commonly viewed as "mindless, low-brow, Hollywood fluff" and will therefore never receive the full appreciation of the audiences it deserves. The casual movie-goer will not be "in" on some of his one-liners, and the hard core comedic fans will be too busy critiquing his innovative comedic style to appreciate it.
This work involves Chevy Chase as an unscrupulous in-debt gambler who is willing to help our star out of his latest pickle in exchange for a load of money. I was a tad disappointed with Chevy's role in this vehicle. It could have afforded Mr. Chase's legendary talents a bit more respect by way of screen time. I found his talents were sorely under used although the drivers were pistoned after his specific flair. I did not quite agree with this decision.
All in all, this is a beautiful introduction to Norm Macdonald's talents and I highly suggest its viewing.
It rates a 7.3/10 from...
