Other mistake: The way 'Sara'/'Sarah' is spelled differs from the movie credits and the tag on the bottom of her roller skate shown near the end of the movie. (01:35:35 - 01:37:30)
Adventures in Babysitting (1987)
Directed by: Chris Columbus
Starring: Vincent D'Onofrio, Elisabeth Shue, Penelope Ann Miller, Elizabeth Shue, Keith Coogan, Anthony Rapp, Maia Brewton
Audio problem: As Pruitt is beating up the adulterer in the street, despite the sound effects, it's obvious that his punches are missing. (00:27:35)
Continuity mistake: When Chris, Brad and Sarah are watching TV in the living room you can hear a scene from the movie Halloween but there is something totally different on the TV. Also, as Chris starts to leave later on, there are several shots of the TV and Halloween is now on screen but the scene being shown is the same one that was heard earlier.
Trivia: When Christina and the kids are brought to the warehouse where the criminals are bringing stolen cars, one of the gangsters says, "Take the Brady Bunch upstairs." In the next scene we see Brenda waiting at the bus stop, and we can hear the Brady Bunch song being played on TV.
Daryl: Don't touch it! It could get infected, Jesus! He could get anything - Tetanus, rabies, scabies, emphysema.
Question: When the kids were coming out of the hospital, Pruitt was there and said that Dawson was going to charge them $50 for the tire, which he knew they didn't have. Earlier in the movie when he saw them on the expressway, he said he would treat them to a tire as a nice gesture. He paid for the window because that was his fault, but why did he suddenly decide not to buy their tire for them when he knew they were flat broke?
Answer: He didn't decide not to buy them the tire. He said Dawson wouldn't let him buy it for them.
