Mistakes

When the bear is jumping on John Candy, after the door has broken down, each time it shows a close up of John Candy, the curtains from the door are over his right arm and next to his face, but in the long shots, the curtain is going down his (stunt double's) back and are not over his arm or by his face. This is in each of the close up and long shots during the time the bear is jumping on him and the door. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry When Buck is playing pool in the arcade with Ben he 'assaults' Cammie with his cue. She spins around flinging his cue across the room. The next shot she is staring him down as he is holding his cue again. [Actually, it's sort of hard to miss because I almost thought the same thing, but right before she leaves, she actually hands him her cue and that's why he is shown holding another cue.]
Entry When John Candy is telling his bear story, he first says he pointed the rifle at the bear then he says he pointed the shotgun. [Character mistake.]
