Tantalizing Trivia: Nothing But Trouble

If you've seen Nothing But Trouble (1991), then you know Judge Alvin 'J.P' Valkenheiser. He's one creepy mofo with one creepy mofo family in one creepy mofo house/junkyard.

This gem of a movie was Dan Aykryod's directorial debut and we hearty heart heart us some Aykroyd! What most people might not know is that this movie was actually inspired by a real life experience in Danny-boy's life...

In 1978, Aykroyd was brought in to see a Justice of the Peace in the middle of the night for a speeding violation. Much like Chevy Chase and the gang in the flick, Aykroyd was passing through a rural town when he got busted for having a lead foot.

Check out Judge Valkenheiser in this scene where a pack-o-hooligans meet their fate with Mr. Bonestripper!
