Trivia:
Various U.S. television stations deleted the "chips up the nostrils" scene. Airing it was deemed as insensitive to individuals with mental impairments. moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The wedge that Ken shoots out of the pulley was inserted from the wrong side, so that the weight on the rope would have loosened it rather than it holding safely. moreFAQ

Portraying a heist gone awry, "A Fish Called Wanda" goes all out in every way possible. Maybe the whole thing is little more than an excuse for a bunch of silly situations, but they have some great ones here. Whether it's John Cleese's dance, Kevin Kline's rips at England, Michael Palin's stuttering, or Jamie Lee Curtis's deadpan performance, they know how to do everything here. I can't describe how funny the movie is; you just have to see it. And you may very well die laughing - or if nothing else, you'll want to take a trip to England. Kevin Kline definitely deserved his Oscar. And of course, the cast teamed up again for the equally funny (maybe even better) "Fierce Creatures". This is a comedy classic in every way.
Oh, and in case Kevin Kline is reading this: Happy birthday! You're my favorite actor!
