Plot

His application to join is rejected. In retaliation, Jack buys the rights to the club and turns it into an amusement park-type golf club.

Production

Reception

The movie made USD $11 million compared to the original's USD $39 million gross at the box office. The character of Peter Blunt, played by Randy Quaid, was widely panned for his performance in the main role.

Cast reception was also negative. Chevy Chase, who reprises the role of Ty Webb, was rumored to have murmured to the film's director Allan Arkush during post-production, "Call me when you've dubbed the laugh-track," before walking away in disgust. Arkush, who also directed Rock 'n' Roll High School in 1979, begged Rodney Dangerfield to come in and save the script at the last minute. Upon reading it, Dangerfield asked, "What's with the ferris wheel?" and dropped it in the wastebasket.
