    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      It is a remake of the 1991 British television film "Bernard and the Genie", also written by Curtis.
    • Goofs
      The stuffed bear at the beginning is either strapped onto the back of the motorbike or it isn't. If it is, it simply can't roll off on an easy and very apparent wide turn. If it isn't, it will instantly fall off as soon as Bernard puts the bike in motion.
    • Crazy credits
      The Universal logo at the beginning has snow.
