You will notice that the script says Second Draft 6/14/1994. Yes, 1994. 11 years before the movie was in theaters. I wonder if this script is different from the final draft. If it is, I wonder how different.

I heard that they originally John Goodman to play Ralph.

Tom Arnold was attached at one point, and Audrey Meadows even suggested Michael Richards as Norton:

Don’t know. I haven’t read the whole script just yet.
The Honeymooners (https://t.co/tKFde6w9Qf) gets the big screen mistreatment from Paramount, which backed this $27.5M turkey. The studio dumped this throwaway pic as counter-programming to Mr. & Mrs. Smith and it tanked with just $12.8M.
