The film was mentioned in passing in an episode of Married... with Children (1987) during an in-flight to London, as a joke to the film's failure. Ed O'Neill was the star of the series.
There were plans to do a sequel, which never materialized.
The film was shown in Dial 'B' for Virgin (1994) where main characters, Ed O'Neill and Katey Sagal were in a video store and looked briefly at a rack that showed a poster of the film with a sign over O'Neill's face that said "Free Video".
In an interview Ed O'Neill states that during the shooting of the movie John Hughes was calling him everyday, like they were best friends. Ed O'Neill was even invited to John Hughes' house for dinner, and they were supposed to do other movies together but as soon as the movie underperformed at the box office, John Hughes never spoke to Ed O'Neill ever again or director Peter Faiman.
