In a recent interview for “The Dinosaur Hour” on GB News, Cleese shared the shocking information that one of the viewers, who went to the cinema especially to see this film, died of a heart attack caused by a fit of laughter during the screening of “A Fish Called Wanda”.
Kevin Kline and I killed a man in Denmark. He was a dentist, he had a powerful laugh. Famous throughout the area. It was in Aarhus, not a very big city, everyone knew him there. He went to watch “Wanda” and started laughing. And he laughed for about two minutes, and he never stopped. They carried him out dead. He had a heart attack, Cleese said.
