House Paradiso is a 1999 comedy slapstick movie, starring Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson, and directed by Edmondson. It is based
on their comedy television series Bottom. The key difference in the characters is in their names: Rik's character, known as
"Richard Richard" in the TV show, is here referred to as "Richard Twat" (although he regularly and angrily insists on the
pronunciation "Thwaite"). Eddie's character changes from "Eddie Hitler" in the TV show to "Eddie Elizabeth Ndingobamba". The film was made on the Isle of Wight.
The
distinctive "boing" sound made by the dining room door is exactly the same as the sound of the dining room door in Mr Hulot's
Holiday.
The
scene in which Ritchie yanks Eddie's head back with a hook up his nose was shot with the action in reverse, then played backwards
in the final cut. To achieve this, Adrian Edmondson learned to phonetically pronounce the phrase "Just one moment please"
backwards.
This
was Simon Pegg's first feature film appearance.
During
the end credits there is a scene with Richie, Eddie and Gina on a beach in the caribbean, running "Beach House Paradiso".
