When the picture was sent to the U.S. Navy for approval, the Navy refused to have its name associated with it because of the sequence at the end when Watson takes over a ship and does some decidedly un-military manoeuvres with it.

d.
Rob Brydon
played
Dustin Hoffman
in a deleted scene, which took place at the 1980 Academy Awards and involved Sellers losing the Oscar for Best Actor (for his performance in
Being There
) to Hoffman (for his performance in
Kramer vs. Kramer
), during his acceptance speech Hoffman declared "I refuse to believe that I beat Peter Sellers". Though the Academy Awards scene was deleted, the framing scene of Sellers watching it on TV is still in the picture. It has merely been reedited so whats playing on the TV has been changed to the scene from
Being There
that he filmed. The look on Sellers face as he watches was originally his expression while rewinding the tape of Hoffman saying "I beat Peter Sellers" and playing it over and over again.
Stephen Hopkins
says on the DVD commentary that the scene was altered because his dramatic point got lost in the exposition of showing Sellers lose the Oscar.
