Cast and Crew of Innerspace

Innerspace

Innerspace is a sci-fi adventure comedy where test pilot Lt. Tuck Pendleton (Dennis Quaid) is miniaturized and accidentally injected into Jack Putter (Martin Short), a neurotic hypochondriac. Together, they must navigate Jack's body to reach his ex-girlfriend, Lydia Maxwell, to extract Tuck and restore him before his oxygen supply runs out. The film blends humor, action, and imaginative special effects to deliver an entertaining journey inside the human body.

Trivia:
1. Dennis Quaid and Martin Short formed a great comedic duo, and Martin Short’s improv skills notably added layers of humor to the script.
2. The filmmakers employed groundbreaking special effects for 1987, including miniature sets and animatronics, to create the believable inner-body environment.
3. The film's working title was "Go Fever," reflecting its fast-paced and adventurous tone before being renamed to Innerspace.
