Production

edit

Renato Aragão said that O Trapalhão na Arca de Noé was inspired by Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was done during the separation of the Trapalhões, which lasted only six months. Dedé Santana, Mussum and Zacarias made the film Atrapalhando a Suate, and there was competition between the two films in theaters. The song chosen for the opening of the film is called "Mars: Bringer of War" by The Planets composed by Gustav Holst.
