Caddyshack got poor reviews and did not do well at the box office when it first came out. The writer, Doug Kenny, got so depressed that he killed himself by jumping off a cliff in Hawaii about a month later. It was Rodney Dangerfield's first movie, and he thought his performance was poor since there wasn't a live audience out there laughing at his jokes. And the course was so brown they had to dye the grass green.
