Trivia / The Man with Two Brains

Go To

  • The Cast Showoff: At one point Martin simultaneously (if briefly) juggles, tap-dances and sings, and also walks upside down on his hands (and briefly on one hand), all things Martin can do in real life.
    Hfuhruhurr: God damn your drunk tests are hard!
  • Completely Different Title: In Brazil, Chile and Peru, the film was released as The Erotic Doctor.
  • What Could Have Been: Steve Martin originally wanted David Cronenberg to direct this film after Martin had seen Scanners. Cronenberg declined due to scheduling conflicts with Videodrome and he wasn't intrested in making comedies.

Misc. trivia

  • The character of Doctor Michael Hfuhruhurr inspired the name of a minor Superman villain three years later; Hfuhruhurr the Word-Bringer, who removes brains from the living and keeps them on his ship to form a vast telepathic Union.
