Listen hard to the sketch-based film and you'll hear the names Steve McCroskey and Rex Kramer.
The Zucker brothers bring us a variety of skits of different lengths, laugh quotient and styles, but before Amazon Women on the Moon and Flying High/Airplane, this is the movie that started them both.
From their locally famed Kentucky Fried theatre troupe, the then-thirtysomething brothers had never directed a film, and the producers let them write it but passed the reigns to the more experienced John Landis
