Dave Thomas bounced from the screenplay of Spies Like Us

City Slickers (1991). On the verge of turning 40, an unhappy Manhattan yuppie is roped into joining his two friends on a cattle drive in the southwest.

Genuinely - shockingly - one of the better male midlife crisis buddy comedies. It's got a fun cast with good chemistry, some genuinely riproaring Western sequences, and a good and grounding performance from Billy Crystal in the central role. It doesn't always entirely know what it's saying (or honestly, where it's going), but I .enjoyed this one more than I expected to. 6/10.

Splash was released in North American theaters on 9 March 1984.

Producer Brian Grazer pitched the story idea for Splash to a number of studios before Walt Disney Productions agreed to produce the film for its new Touchstone Pictures (Disney's attempt to reach an older audience). Splash would be Touchstone's first film.

Bruce Jay Friedman (who wrote the first draft), Lowell Ganz, and Babaloo Mandel wrote the screenplay (Ganz and Mandel had written for Happy Days and wrote 1982's Night Shift, directed by Ron Howard and produced by Grazer).

The studio insisted on an established actor for the lead and Chevy Chase, Michael Keaton, Bill Murray, Dudley Moore, and John Travolta were offered the role. Keaton turned down the part of star in Mr. Mom (which Ron Howard turned down in order to direct Splash). Grazer and Howard insisted on the still unknown Tom Hanks (who had met the principals when he appeared in an episode of Happy Days in 1982). Numerous actresses turned down the role of the mermaid before Daryl Hannah was cast.

Made for a little more than $10 million, Splash would go on to earn $70 million at the box office, and would become the 10th highest-grossing film of 1984. It received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.
