The Flintstones

Trivia: Mel Blanc did the voice of Dino. This is only significant if you consider the fact that this film was made in 1994 but Blanc died five years previously in 1989. The film-makers used tapes of his original sounds from the 1960s TV show.

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.

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.

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.

Gavin Jackson

Chosen answer: He means Fred is fat. That from behind, he looks big enough to be two or more people.
