Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNear the conclusion of the movie, just before Jimmy captures Charlie the duck, there is a Volkswagen Beetle with the license plate OFP 857 and inside the vehicle is a Great Dane. The tag was the very same as Herbie's in The Love Bug (1969), another Disney movie starring Dean Jones that was the first in a series of "Love Bug" films. The dog is the same breed as in The Ugly Dachshund (1966), also starring Dean Jones.
- GoofsThe logo and attachment that is on the Centennial is not the Hyundai logo. The logo and attachment on that car both appear to resemble the Lincoln logo.
- Quotes
Jimmy Dooley: I didn't want a duck! I wanted a puppy!
- Crazy creditsDuring the opening credits, an animated duck lays six eggs. Then, it places a "1" and a "$ " before these eggs. After it adds commas, the eggs turn golden with a cash register sound. The third egg then expands and blends into the opening scene.

Featured review
As a kid in the early seventies I remember clips from $1,000,000 duck being shown on Disney Time and Screen Test. I think it's a head nod to a certain bad tempered duck who made Disney more then $1,000,000. It's interesting to see Tony Roberts in something not directed by Woody Allen. I first saw it in full in the mid -seventies when the BBC showed it on Christmas Eve (that was the days when Disney was very grudging about their stuff being shown to anything other than a full cinema audience). A good film, a satire on greed and the American Dream.
