This movie was originally a project for Mick Jagger and David Bowie. After the success of their "Dancing in the Street" video in 1985, studio bosses were eager to put them in a movie together. Dale Launer was brought in, based on the success of Per favore, ammazzatemi mia moglie (1986), and asked to submit ideas. Jagger had previously written the title song to Per favore, ammazzatemi mia moglie (1986), based on his enthusiasm for Launer's script. Launer had seen the original movie, I due seduttori (1964), on television once before, and suggested a remake. Launer acquired the remake rights from one of the original writers, Stanley Shapiro. During development, Jagger and Bowie dropped out of the project, and Steve Martin and Michael Caine were brought in as replacements. According to Bowie, he and Jagger were "a bit tweezed that we lost out on a script that could have been reasonably good."
