Sep 25, 2012 · This scene caused quite a lot of trouble. When Kevin started to push French fries, or chips as we say in England, up Michael's nose, the audience became very, very distressed.

John Cleese chose to name his character Archie Leach after legendary actor Cary Grant. Grant, whose real name was Archibald Leach, was in fact born in Bristol, UK, just 20 miles from Cleese’s birthplace of Weston-super-Mare.
A Fish Called Wanda represents the most successful film that former Monty Python stars John Cleese and Michael Palin have worked on, earning $177.9 million on a budget of $8 million. While Python films The Holy Grail and The Life of Brian were huge successes given their tiny budgets, their box office hauls of $4 million and $20 million pale in comp...
John Cleese has said that A Fish Called Wanda is his favourite film of all the ones that he has worked on over the years, which is high praise indeed! This would put it above all of the Monty Python films that Cleese also starred in! [rtk_adunit_middle]
When filming the robbery scene, Kevin Kline shot the crossbow at the sensor himself and managed to hit it in just 2 takes! [rtk_adunit_bottom]
When filming Kevin Kline’s ejaculation scene, Jamie Lee Curtis had to bury her head in the pillow. This is because she kept laughing out loud at the faces that he was pulling. [rtk_adunit_top]
Michael Palin’s father suffered from a stutter and so Palin used this as inspiration for how he portrayed Ken in the film with his debilitating stutter. After the release of A Fish Called Wanda, Michael Palin was approached by a group of people with bad stutters who appreciated his sensitivity to the speech impediment. Palin went on to found the Lo...
In the call sheets used when filming, John Cleese found it so amusing that Jamie Lee Curtis’ father’s (Tony Curtis) real name was Bernard Schwartz that he listed the actress as Jamie Lee Schwartz instead! [rtk_adunit_bottom]
They say it’s not what you know, but who you know that counts, and John Cleese’s on-screen daughter in the film was played by his real-life daughter, Cynthia Cleese. The younger Cleese, whose mother is Fawlty Towers writer and star Connie Booth, went on to star in a handful of films in the 90s, such as Fierce Creatures and I’m On Fire. [rtk_adunit_...
The studio were concerned about Charles Crichton directing A Fish Called Wanda as he was in his late 70s and hadn’t directed a big film for over 20 years. John Cleese only took the co-director credit to reassure the studio and claims that this was very much Crichton’s film. In spite of having a co-director credit, John Cleese only really filmed som...
When A Fish Called Wanda was released in Denmark, a Danish audiologist, Ole Bentzen literally laughed himself to death in the scene in which Ken gets chips pushed up his nose! [rtk_adunit_end]
(The fact that Kline also stuffs French fries up Palin’s nose gives the scene a nice sort of fish-and-chips symmetry.) Another thing I like is when people are appealed to on the basis of their most gross and shameful instincts, and surrender immediately.
Jul 12, 2018 · In the film’s traumatizingly memorable torture scene, Otto inserts a pear in Ken’s mouth and fries up his nostrils—or "chips," in British parlance—before proceeding to devour his pet fish ...
A Fish Called Wanda (1988) is a slick and funny film. The writing is fun and silly, and the characters are so good. Kevin Kline deserved his Oscar for this film because he’s so damn good!
Wanda ( Jamie Lee Curtis - Trading Places) and her boyfriend Otto ( Kevin Kline - The Big Chill) are in England to help Georges (Tom Georgeson) and Ken (Michael Palin) rob a bank of diamonds and all goes well as they pull off the job and stash the diamonds in a safe at a garage.

Nov 2, 2013 · Star-writer John Cleese’s marvellous 1988 comedy gem A Fish Called Wanda is a hilarious fusion of old-time cosy fun and Eighties cynicism, of English eccentricity and American pizzazz. Crooks get more than they bargain for when they try to pull a London diamond heist since only the crime’s mastermind knows where the jewels are – and he ...
