    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      One particular device that Chevy Chase had to wear for the film was a set of blue, eyeball-sized, contact lenses, so his eyes would appear invisible with his face looking like a mask, but with empty eye sockets. To wear them, his eyes first had to be numbed with sedative medication. The lenses had special miniature pinholes so Chase could see through them, but after about fifteen minutes of wearing them, Chase would demand shooting to stop so he could remove them, sometimes ruining entire shots and pushing filming back by several hours.
    • Goofs
      An invisible man would be blind; the only way to see is for light to reflect off the back of the retina. If the retina is invisible the light would pass through. In the book, it was theorized that the energy particles that make up his body interact differently with visible light allowing him to see.
    • Quotes
      • Morrissey: [reading Nick's record] Never been married, parents both deceased... the guy's got a few friends, but not real close to any of them. Not exactly a workaholic, either. He kind of plays it fast and loose.
      • David Jenkins: I've dealt with people like this before. No close personal ties, no strong political beliefs, no particular interests... in fact, when you think about it, the man has the perfect profile. He was invisible *before* he was invisible.
    • Crazy credits
      Over the first minute or so of the end credits, Nick is skiing in snowy mountains, his head and face covered with a hat, goggles, and scarf. He comes to a stop outside a large cabin. Alice comes out, evidently pregnant. Nick lifts his goggles and pulls the scarf down from around his face, but of course he is still invisible. Alice kisses him, and takes his gloved hand and holds it to her belly so he can feel the baby kicking...
    • Alternate versions
      UK cinema and video versions were edited to remove 'fuck you' in order for the film to receive a PG rating. The 2003 DVD was uncut and upgraded to a 12 certificate.
