Continuity mistake: When Fletch goes to visit Calculus in his shack, he knocks on the window and sees Calculus sitting in a chair, wearing boots. The next shot, as Fletch is walking inside, Calculus is now wearing socks and no boots, despite never having left the seated position, nor having had any time to slide his feet out of the boots.

Ben Dover: Take your pants off.
Fletch: I don't even know your name.
Ben Dover: Bend over.
Fletch: Ben? Nice to meet you, Victor Hugo.
Trivia: Chevy Chase has a scene with actor Geoffrey Lewis in this film. The same year, Chevy played Juliette Lewis' dad in Christmas vacation...who is Geoffrey's real life daughter.
