Honey I Blew Up the Kid

Revealing mistake: While Nick and his father are driving home with the giant baby behind (an obvious green screen projection), the baby breaks a tube from the car and throws it to the floor. Nick bends down to pick up a prop located offscreen, to add up for realism, but the problem is that he bends down before the baby throws it, so the whole trick is revealed.

Revealing mistake: When the family is running around trying to settle down the big Adam, Adam picks up Nick. From the back view, Nick is obviously a doll.

Revealing mistake: When Mandy is hanging loose by the car's edge and Nick is grabbing her, there's a shot with a bluescreened background where Nick says "but you gotta help" where Mandy and the car are all blurry and faded and the image is doubled. Something went really wrong in that special effects shot.

Factual error: The baby is expanded to approximately fifty times his height, width and girth but it's explicitly stated that he retains his orginal mass. This means he will have the same volume as one hundred and twenty five thousand babies of his original size, but will weigh the same as before he was enlarged! That child is going to weigh much less than the volume of air he displaces. He's going to float away.
