Visible crew/equipment: When the Szalinski brothers and their wives are shrunk, they run into a cockroach the size of a sofa. They hide behind some structure with a nut on it. A boom mic is visible in the top-right corner for a second or so.
Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Dean Cundey
Starring: Rick Moranis, Bug Hall, Robin Bartlett, Eve Gordon
Continuity mistake: Near the beginning, just after the people are shrunk, the pattern on the floor keeps changing. In the closeups its really big compared to the people, and from farther away its smaller compared to the people.
Wayne Szalinski: Baseball's just a phase, it'll pass. But science is always cool.
Trivia: Due to the financial success of the previous two films, Disney originally intended for this to be a theatrical film. However, after their success with the direct-to-video animated sequels "The Return of Jafar" and "Aladdin and the King of Thieves," Disney decided to make this their first foray into a direct-to-video live-action sequel. Given it was gamble, this decision unfortunately resulted in the budget being lowered substantially in comparison to the previous two films.
Question: As the dads are getting into the Shark car, they say something like, "too bad he wasn't playing with. yeah, that was cherry" well that's what it sounded like. Anyone know what they're saying?
