Other mistake: When Sue Ellen gets the roses from Gus, the tickets in the card have a date of April 6th 1990. This is suppose to be the summer of 1990, which means the tickets are no good. (01:03:00)
Other mistake: The movie is set in the summer of 1990 and Sue Ellen has stated she is 17 but when we see her drivers license her birthdate is stated as 12-19-73. That makes her 16 turning 17 in December. (01:24:00)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Sue-Ellen has just come home from work, she places her pocketbook on the kitchen island. In the next scene the secretary is going through Sue-Ellen's office and finds her pocketbook and goes through it. How can that be if Sue-Ellen brought it home with her? (01:17:15 - 01:19:35)
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.
