Trivia: Belushi's friend and frequent co-star Dan Aykroyd hates this film. His most famous quote: "I have witches working now to jinx the thing. I hope it never gets seen, and I am going to hurl all the negative energy I can and muster all my hell energies against them. My thunderbolts are out on this one, quite truthfully." Aykroyd learned that J.T. Walsh, who had appeared in "Wired," had been cast in the film "Loose Cannons," in which he was due to star. He had him fired.
