Factual error: As the scorpion pursues the ant, it repeatedly thrusts its stinger into the ground. Scorpions can't afford to do this as it would waste venom. They don't use their stinger until after they've captured their target in their pincers.

Directed by: Joe Johnston
Starring: Rick Moranis, Matt Frewer, Kristine Sutherland, Marcia Strassman
Amy Szalinski: If you were my brother, I'd put myself up for adoption.
Ronald 'Ron' Thompson: Yeah, I hope your face ends up on a milk carton.
Trivia: In the open-matte print, right after the credits, the support beams of the movie lot walls are visible, painted in blue to simulate the sky. In the theatrical version and the current Disney+ streaming movie's original aspect ratio (bottom picture), one can still see the beams for a split second after the postman puts the letter in the mailbox (though there's no way here to identify them as lot walls).
Question: Amy is almost drowned in the muddy water. After Russ saves her by artificial respiration, Nick asks him where he learnt artificial respiration. "French class." Russ answers. At the end of the movie, Nick at the table shouts, "I get it! French class!" So what does French Class mean?

Chosen answer: Russ says he learned it in French class because giving mouth to mouth resuscitation looks similar to French kissing.
