They apparently started fighting in John Belushi’s dressing room and only stopped when John pulled them apart! Their feud ended in 1980 when they both appeared in Caddyshack. They were forced to work together and ended up getting along many years later.
Bill once admitted, “It was really a Hollywood fight, a ‘Don’t touch my face!’ kind of thing. It was an Oedipal thing, a rupture. Because we all felt mad he had left us, and somehow I was the anointed avenging angel, who had to speak for everyone. But Chevy and I are friends now. It’s all fine.”
