Reaction and Sequel
In her autobiography, Enter Whining, Fran Drescher comments that this film was expected to be a major hit, but that it fell short of that expectation; by the time the film ended its run in theatres, it had only managed to make US$10.8 million, on a budget of US$8 million.
The end titles promise the release of Doctor Detroit II: The Wrath of Mom, meant as a gag based on the title of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, released eleven months previous. Aykroyd was said to have been writing the script, however, the project became unfulfilled due to poor box office results.

“Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children’s party taken over by the elders.”
