Curiosidades
In the early 1970s, an American margarine company convinced a fancy French restaurant to prepare two identical dishes, one made with their margarine and the other made with real butter, and offer both dishes to their customers for comparison. Cameras recorded the customers sampling the dishes and saying, "No difference". These were shown in American commercials for the margarine. This is the inspiration for the blindfolded French chef who appears repeatedly in the film, saying "NO DEE-FRAWNCE!" in a thick and phony French accent.

Pifias
The Vitabrain Capsulized Library promises to provide "Wuthering Heights" by the Brontes with eggs over easy, but, although all the Brontes wrote, Only Emily is credited with "Wuthering Heights"

Citas
Tom: Well, don't worry about your breath or your armpits, Al. It's your personality that stinks.

Créditos adicionales
In the credits, the title "Tunnel Vision" is graced with an eyeball protruding from a pair of lips.

Versiones alternativas
The earlier release on Media in 1978 uses an exceedingly scratchy print and has two segments missing that are viewable on the later Harmonyvision release: a proctology TV ad that appears just after the Midas Touch Cleaning Fluid ad, and the "Convert. The Church Is Changing" spot, which appears towards the film's end, right after the Dinner Bars commercial. The latter spot features a woman dressed as a priest, stripping in front of a church window. The former features a line of bare male bottoms. It isn't clear why these scenes are missing (the film is still pretty explicit without them), but both are intact on the later Harmonyvision release, which also boasts a much-better source print.

Not quite Network

1976 saw the release of this movie and the Oscar-winning classic Network. There really is no argument as to which is the better film, but the idea of American viewers becoming glued to their TV sets because of an "anything goes" TV station doesn't seem too far-fetched today. Of the skit comedies of the '70s (Kentucky Fried Movie and Groove Tube being the others), this is the weakest. But it has some moments. The competing California candidates is a funny running gag, but the French chef is definitely not and unfortunately shows up throughout the movie. If you want to compare the success of these three films, you can use the filmmakers' later work as a gauge: The makers of Kentucky Fried Movie went on to Animal House, The Blues Brothers, Trading Places, Airplane, Police Squad and Top Secret. The makers of The Groove Tube went on to Modern Problems (and Richard Belzer went on to radio). The makers of Tunnel Vision went on to Bachelor Party and Moving Violations. You do the math.
