Trivia

During Lucy's impalement scene Steven Weber was not made aware of the volume of blood that would shoot up from the dummy. Mel Brooks has indicated that this was done to ensure a natural reaction, though it was likely done as a practical joke. Steven Weber is clearly attempting to keep his composure and not laugh as he delivers his line.
