Trivia
The original release did not include any of Robin Williams' scenes. It was re-released just before Popeye (1980) premiered, with his scenes included, and advertised as "Robin Williams' Movie Debut."

Alternate versions
All scenes featuring Robin Williams were added to the film sometime after its theatrical premiere, to capitalize on his success in the TV series "Mork & Mindy"). According to British critic Barry Norman however it was Williams' growing fame that caused him to seek to have his scenes in this movie removed.

Comedy skits that just don't work.

When I saw this movie, circa 1979, it became the first movie that I ever walked out of in the middle. There is nothing worse than comedy that just misses being funny, and this misses every time (although I can't speak for the last 25 minutes of the movie). There was nothing original about any of the skits. While I enjoy racy humor where appropriate, these skits were needlessly vulgar. What was even more irritating was that this movie was advertised as "Robin William's first movie", capitalizing on his new found fame in the "Mork and Mindy" television series. Yet his role turned out to be so minor that you cannot even notice him on-screen.
