This was Ramis' first feature film and was a major boost to Dangerfield's film career; previously, he was known mostly for his stand-up comedy. Grossing almost $40 million in the U.S. alone (16th highest of the year), it was the first of a series of similar comedies. A sequel, Caddyshack II, followed in 1988, although it was not nearly as successful or well-received.

Cindy Morgan (born Cynthia Ann Cichorski) is an American actress best known for her appearances as Lora/Yori in Tron and Lacey Underall in Caddyshack.

Quote form Cindy Morgan:

"Caddyshack was my first film and I’ll say that the end product was so completely different, it was originally about the caddies. So at first, I had nothing to lose to audition. It was fun. All I did was focus on making the person sweat. Look ‘em in the eye, do that thing many woman know how to do…."

As of 2010, Caddyshack has been televised on the Golf Channel as one of its "Movies That Make The Cut."
