There's something fishy going on at the elitist Bushwood Country Club, and the scheming president of the clubhouse, Judge Elihu Smails, has something to do with it.
But, the suave golf guru, Ty Webb, and the distasteful, filthy rich construction magnate, Al Czervik, are onto him. In the meantime, the young caddie, Danny Noonan, struggles to get his life back on track, and the only way to do it is by winning the demanding Caddie Day golf tournament; a prestigious competition that can earn him a scholarship from the judge himself. Now, war breaks out, and all bets are off.
Will Danny ever make his dream come true? Does he know that a subterranean menace is threatening to put in jeopardy everyone's plans? At last, a comedy that bites! Did you know Edit. Trivia A big hill was built from scratch for the climactic 18th-hole scene, because the country club did not want its course blown up. The pyrotechnic people used too many explosives, which completely destroyed the hill and caused planes flying by to report the explosion, as if a plane had crashed there.
Goofs While Danny making that last putt effectively tied the game, meaning neither team lost nor won, Al's last-second bet of "Double or nothing he makes it" essentially negates the original bet and creates a new one. Since Judge Smails agrees to this new wager before Danny makes the putt, Smails loses the final bet and has to pay up. Quotes Carl Spackler : What an incredible Cinderella story.

It's really a very interesting narrative strategy. I'd call it avant garde, except it was written by Harold Ramis, therefore making such a statement absurd. It's Chevy Chase's finest hour so dry he might as well be a desert, his humor so sly you miss half his jokes and Bill Murray's no slouch either did he improvise the Cinderella story bit or was it written like that?
Oh, and then there's Rodney, the funniest guy in the film. He reprised the role in with Fletch Lives , but the film wasn't as successful as the original. Throughout the s and early s, Chase achieved moderate success in such films as Spies Like Us and Three Amigos! But despite an all-star cast in , Caddyshack II received the same mixed-to-mediocre reviews as the Fletch sequel. The panned follow-ups, Nothing But Trouble and Cops and Robbersons , did nothing to jump-start the comedian's flagging reputation.
In addition, his Fox comeback variety show was canceled two months after it premiered in In recent years, Chase has chosen to work in family films, such as Man of the House and Snow Day His roles have gradually shifted from starring to supporting, including Dirty Work in and Orange County in In , Chase appeared as a recurring villain in the spy sitcom, Chuck.
Chase did, however, make his way back into the spotlight as a regular cast member on the popular series Community The show was well-received by audiences and critics alike, based on its ragtag of cast members, including Donald Glover and Joel McHale, which made for an interesting and funny combination.

His brother Bill played head greensman Carl Spackler. Barney Lumber Company. The infamous "Baby Ruth in the pool" scene was culled from the Murray kids' real-life high school exploits. Ramis drew from real-life experience while writing as well.
He admittedly had only played golf twice in his life before directing the film, and recalled that he nailed someone in the nether regions with one of his first practice shots taken to prepare for the film. Naturally, he made use of this tale by contributing the scene where Judge Smails played by Ted Knight gets hit in the crotch with an errant golf ball.
The finished Caddyshack script was a whopping pages in length, more than double the average screenplay. Studio bosses immediately demanded that it be cut down, and added a second stipulation: No star, no movie. First-time director Ramis offered them three, though the first two were untested as far as the studio was concerned.
The filmmakers originally envisioned actor Don Rickles as the slobbish condo magnate Al Czervik, but they settled on comedian Rodney Dangerfield, who'd garnered success in comedy circles and on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Caddyshack would be his first big feature film. The studio finally went ahead when Ramis and company secured Chevy Chase to portray the film's pompous-but-well-meaning playboy Ty Webb whom they had written the part for anyway, unbeknownst to the studio.
Chase was the biggest catch of the three, having received a Best Actor Golden Globe nomination for the box-office hit Foul Play. Ramis had Mickey Rourke in mind for the leading role of Danny Noonan, but felt that he couldn't convincingly portray the "goofy kid-next-door.
He'd also co-written Meatballs and Animal House, but Caddyshack marked his first attempt at directing. The veracity of these jokes is uncertain, but it is true that the studio was so skeptical of Ramis's abilities that they asked associate producer Don MacDonald to submit a list of directors who could be quickly brought in as on-the-fly replacements, if needed.
Orion Pictures wanted the production to be filmed in Los Angeles, but Ramis knew things would be better out from under the thumb of studio execs. He convinced the studio to look elsewhere, since the Illinois setting of the fictional Bushwood Country Club wouldn't include Southern California's palm trees.
Rolling Hills was one of the few golf courses away from L. Production was held up both completely by Hurricane David and sporadically by the noise from flights leaving and entering nearby Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
The cast and crew took advantage of the hurricane delay by holding a huge indoor party at their hotel next to the country club. Caddyshack marked Dangerfield's first big-time appearance on the silver screen.
