Guest House Paradiso...

Guest 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".

 

That's no reason not to wash, is it? Good grief, we are British, you know. We invented cold showers to stop people masturbating. Oh, I see, maybe that's why you are so upset about the lack of hot water.
