Factual error: Kathleen Quinlan is named Janet Dunn, but when Gene Wilder looks at the newspaper and sees the headline about her murder, it falsely says her name is Janet Stone.
Hanky Panky (1982)
Directed by: Sidney Poitier
Starring: Gene Wilder, Kathleen Quinlan, Gilda Radner
Question: What made the pilot burp over and over for minutes before having the fatal heart attack? Also, does that really happen in real life to people before heart attacks?
Answer: I looked this up: Belching is more commonly associated with digestion issues like heartburn or indigestion. However, in some cases, it can be a symptom of inferior myocardial infarction (a type of heart attack). This fact was probably played up for the comic effect.
