Bill Murray and Harold Ramis team together for the first time to define the slacker comedy genre.
- According to DVD commentary this movie was originally going to be a Cheech and Chong film, until their manager made unrealistic demands of director Ivan Reitman.
- According to Ivan Reitman, Bill Murray insisted Harold Ramis be cast as his friend for two reasons: 1. They were long time friends in real life. 2. So Ramis could help Murray re-write his dialog or help him improvise.
Bill Murray is in tip-top form as a slacker cab driver turned Army recruit in one of the funniest movies ever made - That’s the fact Jack!
