Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEighty-year-old Edward Le Veque, who appeared as the prostitute's customer, was the last surviving member of the original Keystone Kops.
- GoofsThe Bruce Dern character is constantly presenting story ideas to Hollywood moguls which they reject as being ridiculous and not commercial - although these plot ideas are in fact the basic story-lines of famous real films of a more recent date, such as "Jaws" and "The Exorcist". One such plot, however, is the basic story of "The Wizard of Oz" - which is taken from one of the most famous works of American children's literature, published first in 1902, and the basis for a popular silent film which would have appeared only a short time before the period of this film. Presumably, no-one connected with "Won Ton Ton" knew about the book or the silent film.

Featured review
You have to know the players to enjoy this one...
I thought it was a kick - but then I've been watching movies that date from 1917 and know a little about the pictures. This romp combined cameos and bits by folks from Hollywood's good years (which I define as when they used people instead of digital simulation) as well as familiar faces from TV and pictures from the 50's and 60's.
It's a GO for my money (but then I wasn't in high school when I bought it). Don't see it unless you love pictures!
