515 Fish Called Wanda, A (1988)

- 'John Cleese' (qv)'s character is called ``Archie Leach'', which is
'Cary Grant' (qv)'s real name.
- Portia is played by 'Cynthia Caylor' (qv), who is Cleese's real-life
daughter.
- The scene where Archie sits up in the background behind Wanda
('Jamie Lee Curtis' (qv)) is reminscent of a scene in
"Halloween (1978))" (qv), in which Michael Myers sat up similarily behind
Curtis.
- When Otto ('Kevin Kline' (qv)), suggests possible snitchers to George, he
suggests ``Kevin Delaney'', which are Kline's first and middle names.
- The ``dog death'' scenes were originally filmed with entrails from a butcher
scattered around the ``dead'' dog. Preview audiences reacted strongly to
this, so the scenes were reshot with an obviously fake straw dog.
