Directed by: Chris Columbus
Starring: Robin Williams, Pierce Brosnan, Sally Field, Harvey Fierstein
Factual error: In one scene, Mrs. Doubtfire pulls the symbol off of Stu's car. She shouldn't have been able to do that, since a cable connects the symbol to the inside of the car.
Factual error: The piano was invented by Bartolomeo Cristofori in the year 1720, in the 18th century. Miranda recommends a "17th-century grand piano" for Stuart's bed-and-breakfast inn.
Revealing mistake: Mrs. Doubtfire sets herself on fire. When she jumps back and starts fighting the flames, it is obviously a stunt double as her face is longer.
Suggested correction: If you look carefully, the face looks pretty much the same, as well as the voice.
The reason the voice was the same is that it was probably an audio dub, which is a voice recording over someone else's voice.
Mrs. Doubtfire: I hope you don't mind me being a tad rude, but... How was he? You know, on a scale of 1 to 10?
Miranda: Well, that part was always... Okay.
Mrs. Doubtfire: Just okay? Well, he was probably a Casanova compared to poor old Winston.
Miranda: What was the matter with Winston?
Mrs. Doubtfire: Oh dear, Winston's idea of foreplay was "Effie, brace yourself."
Trivia: The man who plays Todd the bartender at the swimming pool is Robin Williams' brother, Todd Williams.
Question: When Daniel is changing back into Mrs. Doubtfire, why does he/she pour the whole bottle of perfume over him/herself?
Answer: To get rid of the smell of alcohol, although it's pretty obvious Mrs Doubtfire is drunk anyway.
