- This film wrapped filming in 2001, and was originally scheduled for a Christmas 2001 release, then after initial tests, an April 2002 release. However, after the terrorist attacks on the USA of 11 September 2001, the studio felt it was not appropriate to release a comedy which made light of airline flight crews. After another year in the can, and another round of edits which cut out cameo appearances by Robert Stack and Regis Philbin, the film was finally released in summer 2003. It promptly flopped and disappeared.
- In John Whitney's office were photos of Mike Myers (who's character was cross eyed) with celebrities: Sammy Davis Jr., Marty Feldman and Peter Falk. All of these actors had eye problems.
