Directed by: Michael Ritchie
Starring: Chevy Chase, Joe Don Baker, Richard Libertini, Dana Wheeler-Nicholson
Trivia: The hat that Fletch wears at the end of the movie is the same hat that Harry Dean Stanton wore in the 1979 movie "Alien."
Trivia: Alan Stanwyck's mansion is the same house used in the 1972 movie "The Godfather", when Jack Woltz finds the horse head in his bed.
Continuity mistake: When Fletch and Stanwyk first meet and Stanwyk asks Fletch to come to his home and hear his proposal, Stanwyk is wearing a suit/tie on top but is wearing jeans on the bottom. In the next wide shot as they leave the beach, and again in the next scene as they arrive at Stanwyk's house, he is wearing suit pants. (00:04:50)
Suggested correction: Stanwyck is never wearing jeans in any of the scenes, he's always wearing matching suit pants.
Fletch: (singing) Strangers in the night, exchanging clothing, strangers in my pants.
