Factual error: In Sue Ellen's resume that she types up, the zip code of GAW is revealed at the top of the page as 90042. GAW is later shown as being in the Downtown LA area. The zip code 90042 is in Highland Park - a suburb several miles away from the Downtown area.
Factual error: When Sue Ellen is shown commuting on the 405 freeway during heavy traffic, she is heading to work, indicating morning - yet the angle of the sun and shadows show it is late afternoon.
Audio problem: When the drag queens are stealing the kids' car, Sue Ellen and Kenny look at each other and say "Liza," but both of them mouth "sh*t." This was changed to keep the movie's rating down. (00:28:40)
Bryan: Not exactly your dream job, eh?
Sue Ellen "Swell" Crandell: Got that right. You think I woke up this morning and said, 'Gee, I'd love to scrub fat vats! I'd love to smile and work with raw meat'?
Trivia: The house in the film was actually a very nice-looking and well-kept house in a wealthy area. It was purposefully trashed and "dumbed down" to look like a run-down "poor family" house just for the film.
Question: Who played Cynthia, Zach's girlfriend that he used the stolen petty cash to buy a necklace for? Nowhere in the film credits or on-line is the character or the actress listed.
