The Flintstones (1994)
Directed by: Brian Levant
Starring: John Goodman, Halle Berry, Rick Moranis, Elizabeth Perkins, Rosie O'Donnell
Continuity mistake: When the unconscious Barney is lying on the cart with the children, he has his head on his arm and his other arm is lying along his side. When, a few seconds later, you see this shot from further away, the positions of his arms have changed.
Revealing mistake: When Wilma pulls the suitcase forward during the party scene, her fingers squeeze it, making deep indentations in it. (00:34:30)
Trivia: When Fred is about to be hanged by the furious crew, Barney arrives driving an ice cream van, the music of this car is the song of the Jetsons, another cartoon from the team Hanna & Barbera.
Fred Flintstone: I'm only one man.
Barney Rubble: Not from the back.
Cliff Vandercave: I want you to fire Bernard Rubble.
Fred Flintstone: Done! Wait, fire Barney, why?
Cliff Vandercave: Well, he scored the lowest on the company aptitude test. He's an imbecile. The company can't afford to have dead weight like him on the payroll.
Fred Flintstone: But Mr. Vandercave, he's got a new kid, a mortgage, I'm his best friend, I can't.
Cliff Vandercave: Look, Fred, if you don't fire him, I will, and then I'll fire you.
Wilma Flintstone: We have scrimped and saved for that money, and every time we get a little bit ahead, you have to go blow it on some hair-brained scheme.
Fred Flintstone: Now see here, Wilma! In this cave, I am the king! And.
Wilma Flintstone: And what, Fred?
Fred Flintstone: And you have every right to know, my queen.
Question: How come Fred can't accept the briefcase from Barney and Betty at his promotion party?
Question: On Fred's first day of his new promotion, he says "I'm only one man, Barney." To which Barney responds."Not from the back" and they both laugh. Could someone please explain this gag to me. I have tried for years to understand it, with no luck.

Answer: When Fred received said promotion, the first order of business Vandercave gave him was to fire Barney. Since Barney would thus have no source of income, the order comes into conflict with his loyalty to his friend; his guilt makes him feel that the gift is something Barney can't afford and which he, Fred, doesn't deserve.
