Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring filming, animal rights activists showed up with the intention to make sure all the fish were treated correctly. After viewing the script, and realizing that the title of the film was really more about cheating 'fish' than actually shooting it, they left somewhat embarrassed.
- GoofsThe tiny amount of helium that they use wouldn't lighten the jockey by any more than a few ounces at most - it's about the same amount used to fill three helium balloons, which can be held down with a very small bag of sand.
- Crazy creditsThe three blow-up dolls are listed among the cast in the closing credits as Frankie, Sally and Angie.
- Alternate versionsSome non-UK versions remove scenes showing the demolition of the house, the hiding in the safe and the consequent exploding cars.

Featured review
Fun, fast, modern, and in a nutshell; cool
First of all, the film begins with the two main characters, Jez (a confused "geek") and Dylan (a money mad, suave businessman) as children. This gives you an idea of just exactly what they are really like within two minutes of film. As the film progresses, clever scams and tricks ease their way into the comic running of the film.
Loaded with humor and 'English wit' this could possibly be one of the finest light hearted English films for many years.
