Visible crew/equipment: After the babysitter comes, there is a scene where Sue-Ellen is lying on her bed talking on the phone. In her doorway, you can see the tip of a brown shoe, worn by Melissa, just waiting for her cue to walk into the bedroom. (00:09:40)
Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Stephen Herek
Starring: Christina Applegate, David Duchovny, John Getz, Joanna Cassidy, Josh Charles
Genres: Comedy
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)
Kenny Crandell: Don't you ever go outside?
Walter Crandell: Nope, no TV, and no prizes.
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.
