Don Rickles vs. Rodney Dangerfield


The producers planned to get Don Rickles for the film (as Al Czervik) but Rodney Dangerfield was hired.

I think Rickles might have been a lot funnier, especially with the insults like during the dinner at the country club. He would have had a field day with Ted Knight and all of the old people.

Rodney was still hilarious, though.

Oh my God, look at you. Anyone else hurt in the accident?

The movie would have been a lot more mean-spirited had Rickles been cast, I think.
