Trivia
Near the conclusion of the movie, just before Jimmy captures Charlie the duck, there is a Volkswagen Beetle with the license plate OFP 857 and inside the vehicle is a Great Dane. The tag was the very same as Herbie's in Cupido motorizado (1969), another Disney movie starring Dean Jones that was the first in a series of "Love Bug" films. The dog is the same breed as in Operación salchicha (1966), also starring Dean Jones.

Errores
The logo and attachment that is on the Centennial is not the Hyundai logo. The logo and attachment on that car both appear to resemble the Lincoln logo.

Citas
Jimmy Dooley: I didn't want a duck! I wanted a puppy!

Créditos curiosos
During the opening credits, an animated duck lays six eggs. Then, it places a "1" and a "$ " before these eggs. After it adds commas, the eggs turn golden with a cash register sound. The third egg then expands and blends into the opening scene.

Not great, but funny if not taken too seriously

This movie, also known by the alternative title "The $1,000,000 Duck", isn't clearly one of Disney's most solid films. It's not a great movie, but has its fun and originality.

The movie stars Dean Jones and Joe Flynn, both from "The Love Bug". The movie happens to be about an animal, but here's where its biggest originality is: it's not about a cat or a dog or other familiar animals in movies, but a duck! The duck is a cute and likable chap, but very strange. After wandering into a radiation lab, the duck becomes irradiated and many unusual things happen to it, such as to lay golden eggs. Before that, it was already a poor dumb duck.

Dean Jones portrays Professor Albert Dooley, the guy who takes the duck home to offer his son. His son becomes attached to the duck. But because of the whole golden eggs story, Albert Dooley becomes obsessed with the idea of becoming rich thanks to that, proving how people can get so easily greedy for money.

Then again, it's not a super movie, but has its moments, such as Dooley's giant car polluting the air like that and doing those engine noises when it stops (very much like Uncle Buck's car) and some moments with Joe Flynn. I also liked that nice and beautiful yellow sports car.

Almost at the end of the movie, there is a sequence that is all about a chase. The whole sequence is really nuts yet hilarious! While watching it, I couldn't help myself thinking «Damn, what a chase!».
