Other mistake: In the opening scene, Mitch receives his birthday phone call from his parents. As he gets out of bed, the pillow case has perfectly ironed fold marks even though he has just slept the night in the bed.

Directed by: Ron Underwood
Starring: Daniel Stern, Billy Crystal, Jack Palance, David Paymer, Bruno Kirby, Patricia Wettig
Continuity mistake: There is no way the cow (a Hereford I think) could have given birth to that calf (a Jersey or something like that). [The mom is a mixed-breed BEEF cow, the calf a purebred Jersey DAIRY calf. An amazing feat of animal husbandry.]
Mitch Robbins: Hey you know, the first time I tried to talk to you, you embarrassed me. So I teased you a little bit which maybe I shouldn't have done, so I'm sorry. And now you're sitting over there playing with your knife, trying to frighten me - which you're doing a good job. But if you're gonna kill me, get on with it; if not, shut the hell up - I'm on vacation.
Trivia: Jack Palance won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Curly, even though he only has 12 minutes of screen time.
Question: After they pull Mitch from the river they say something that sounds like "Mick werts", what did they actually say, and what does it mean?

Answer: Mitch says "nice catch, it was like Mays in the ‘54 World Series." To which they reply "Vic Wertz." Wertz was the Cleveland Indians player that hit the ball into the outfield that New York Giants player Willie Mays spectacularly caught.
