Did You Know?
Trivia | Broadcast on network television in the early 1980s with a special promotion from 7/11 convenience stores offering cardboard 3D glasses -- the glasses themselves featured a Scratch-And-Sniff patch that smelled like bananas. Right before the movie started, a host would instruct people at home to adjust the color and contrast settings on their TVs to enhance the 3D effect. The broadcast itself was generally considered a failure because the 3D effect didn't work very well depending on the quality of picture from individual TV manufacturers. See more » |
Goofs | When practicing the new act, Kovacs lifts Laverne over his head. A cable is clearly visible around Laverne's waist to support her weight. The cable disappears when he puts her down. See more » |
