Trivia
Reportedly, Gene Hackman's salary for this movie has been estimated at being between 1.25 and 1.5 million dollars. According to Mark Litwak's 1986 book, "Reel Power: The Struggle for Influence and Success in the New Hollywood", talent agent Sue Mengers said that "it was almost obscene for him not to do the film" with the amount of money he was being offered.

Underrated and unusual

I've always had a soft spot for this overly maligned production, the "Ishtar" of its day. It's an oft-kilter mix, to be sure, with some great low comedy bits jarringly interrupted by graphic violence. But it's always fun, and the star trio (especially Reynolds, in a very overlooked performance) seem to be having a ball. Liza Minnelli's production number, "Get While The Gettin' Is Good", is absolutely terrific; she is at her wittiest. Stanley Donen just a few years ago proclaimed he was proud of "Lucky Lady", and I'm hoping eventually this movie will find some type of audience other than Liza Minnelli completists. Hey, Fox, put it on video!
