The Little Rascals

Corrected entry: At the beginning when Alfalfa is in the boat and the girl slicks his hair back, there is a shot where Alfalfa's hair is already up. When she kisses him, his hair pops up again.

Correction: Actually Darla pushes his hair down, right before she kisses him.

Corrected entry: How does Darla find time to leave the recital, get changed, and be in the rich kid's pool before Alfalfa can get there running, when he left before the ballet recital was over?

Sol Parker

Correction: Since the recital was over when the two left, Darla was supposed to have ridden with Waldo. So it seems logical she'd change into her swimsuit there. And it also, during the chase scene, gives you the idea that they have been running for awhile. So it is possible she had time.

Corrected entry: When Darla's friend says, "You're not thinking about Alfalfa, are you?" Darla replies, "No, no, no, no, no" as she says this, she looks right at the camera, and she also looks straight at the camera when all the girls say "Boys. Eurgh."

Correction: Not a real mistake.

Questions

Question: During the go-cart race, several shoppers are sent flying by the errant carts, one of them an old man who yells "Little rascals" at the kids. He's not listed in the credits but I could swear the old man is Robin Williams in makeup.

Answer: I tried looking this up on the IMDb and couldn't find anything about Robin Williams there. My only suggestion is to watch it again and see if there is a list of extras in the credits somewhere. Maybe that's all the part was, an extra.

Answer: That part was originally supposed to be played by Spanky McFarland, the original little rascal, but died before production began. So an extra was used.

I must ask, do you have a source to back this up? I can't find one and it also seems to contradict what other original cast members said. Some original cast members/children of original cast members stated they were not made to feel welcome on set and couldn't even get hold of the film to take part. They expressed disappointment at not feeling welcome. It would be interesting if they were welcoming to the original Spanky, but not some of the others.

Answer: That was Ryal Haakenson who mostly did background extra roles in the 1990s. This film, he was uncredited for this scene.
