Million Dollar Mystery (also known as Money Mania) is a 1987 American film released with a promotional tie-in for Glad-Lock brand bags. This was the final feature-length film directed by Richard Fleischer and shot by Jack Cardiff.

It starred an ensemble cast of "America's new comic talent", including Tom Bosley, Eddie Deezen, Rick Overton, Rich Hall, and Kevin Pollak. The film was largely inspired by Stanley Kramer's It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Dar Robinson, a stuntman, died on November 21, 1986, after riding his motorcycle off a cliff while attempting to do a stunt.
