Continuity mistake: When the nuns are complaining to Gilbert Gottfried about Junior, the head nun's wart above her eye changes color throughout the scene. It varies from light in colour to dark in colour several times.
Problem Child (1990)
Directed by: Dennis Dugan
Starring: Jack Warden, John Ritter, Gilbert Gottfried, Michael Oliver
Audio problem: When Junior picks up the cat and it starts to hiss you can see that the cat's mouth isn't moving.
Continuity mistake: When the nuns are arguing with Gilbert Gottfried, at the beginning of the scene there is no bell on the nun's desk, but when Junior is standing by the desk the bell is suddenly there.
Trivia: In the movie John Ritter and Amy Yasbeck play Ben and Flo Healey who go to the doctor to find out if they can have a baby. In 1990, John Ritter and Amy Yasbeck played a couple named Ray Evans and Mrs Evans on the Cosby Show that were having a baby.
Trivia: In the theater and video version of the movie you see Junior get dropped off at the rich woman's house as a baby, he pees on her, and then she takes him to a new home. Because of TV censorship they could not show him peeing on her so on the TV version it looks like he gets dropped off and taken away for no reason.
More trivia for Problem Child
Junior: Why does this guy love me? Why does any parent love any kid? Maybe it's one of those answers we'll never know, like how high is up? Why is the sky blue? And whatever happened to Mrs. Healy?
Junior: Some people never learn.
Little Ben Healy: Dad, we adopted.
Big Ben Healy: Are you insane?
Little Ben Healy: I thought you'd be happy.
Big Ben Healy: Happy? You don't know what you're letting yourself in for. For all you know, his parents may have met in the looney bin. They might even be democrats.
Question: What was in the red backpack that John Ritter was going to give Michael Richards as ransom for Jr, since he didn't have the 100 grand that he promised him?

Chosen answer: Ben took (stole) his neighbor Roy's station wagon, which was packed for going hunting. Ben apparently improvised by taking the red backpack; the contents of the backpack would be whatever a pre-adolescent boy or girl would put in a backpack to go hunting with his/her father.
