Factual error: When the shop vac shoots the golf ball at Mr. Wilson's gonads, it only affects him for around ten minutes. The shop vac was able to shoot a glob of paint over 50 feet in the air so the speed and impact of the golf ball would have done much more than put Mr. Wilson in extreme pain for a short while. The impact would have likely caused internal bleeding, swelling, causing him to vomit, probably a rupture, requiring him to be hospitalized. There is no way he is walking away from that, he wouldn't even be walking at all.

1/10.I've always hated this stupid comic strip turned movie.What are they saying here?That a small child of 6 or so can do no wrong and thus never be held accountable? I felt this was beneath Walter Mathau, ChristopherLloyd, and Lea Thompson's great talents.If anything can be said about this movie it's that it wasn't a huge ht like the cliched Home Alone was.I truly hated this stupid, rancid, audience insulting hunk of garbage.
George Wilson: I can't stand that kid, he's a menace.
Trivia: Five years after this film was released, Christopher Lloyd—who plays the film's villain, Switchblade Sam—starred in the made-for-TV film "The Ransom of Red Chief," where he played a similar role: a criminal who kidnaps an unruly young boy who ends up turning the tables on his captors. Funny enough, Lloyd in that other film was also named Sam.
Question: Why does George go to find Dennis since he hates him? Did he also expect Dennis to listen to him after he had just scolded Dennis?

Chosen answer: He doesn't hate Dennis and does not want anything to happen to him. He's just a rather crotchety old man who is annoyed by a precocious kid. He may not expect Dennis to listen to him, but he at least makes the effort to reach out as most adults would.
