Though Golden had a stunt double, he still performed several of his own stunts in the cop-comedy film. And, for every major stunt Golden performed, the Evening Shade legend compensated his pint-sized costar with a $100 bill.
“I probably shouldn't have been doing them,” Golden said of the stunts. “Burt understood, because he'd been in the business for years at that point. He wasn't going to overstep, but he also wanted to make sure that I was safe and taken care of. He knew I wasn't probably getting compensated well enough to be performing and doing the things that I was doing."
