Corrected entry: On the DVD bonus material listing Chevy Chases film highlights, it lists the movie 'Fletch 3' as having come out in 1998. This movie was never made.
Fletch (1985)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Michael Ritchie
Starring: Chevy Chase, Joe Don Baker, Richard Libertini, Dana Wheeler-Nicholson
Factual error: In the culminating scene where Fletch is held at gun point and escapes by turning on the gas valve in the fireplace and then igniting the vapors into a ball of flame, he actually turns the valve into the off position (valve is perpendicular to the pipe). (01:32:00)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The valve was in closed position (perpendicular). He opened the valve (turned parallel to pipe).
Dr. Joseph Dolan: You know, it's a shame about Ed.
Fletch: Oh, it was. Yeah, it was really a shame. To go so suddenly like that.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: He was dying for years.
Fletch: Sure, but... the end was very... very sudden.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: He was in intensive care for eight weeks.
Fletch: Yeah, but I mean the very end, when he actually died. That was extremely sudden.
Trivia: Alan Stanwyck's mansion is the same house used in the 1972 movie "The Godfather", when Jack Woltz finds the horse head in his bed.
