Trivia: As in "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" (1963), the cast is in a race to be the first to reach a hidden container of cash. The similarities are: 1) The cast is a Who's Who list of well known people. 2) The amount of cash is very similar. When adjusted for inflation, the 1963 amount of $350,000 would equate out to the 2001 amount of $2,003,289.47. This movie's prize was $2,000,000.
