Who's Harry Crumb? was released just before the more well-known film, and some SCTV regulars make cameo appearances. In this farcical comedy, Candy plays bumbling Harry Crumb, scion of a family of great detectives, who works as a trainee in the agency his legendary grandparents founded. His slimey boss Eliot Draisen

Love the late, great John Candy? Me too. Let's honor the funnyman by never seeing this movie again.

O slogan do filme � 'Nervos de a�o. Corpo de ferro. C�rebro de pedra.'. A quem os produtores estavam se referindo? A Crumb ou a n�s, pobres espectadores?
