Corrected entry: In the car chase scene when the brakes go out and Harry gets locked on the back of the car in front of him, an overhead shot shows just Harry in the car when there was a passenger with him the whole time.
Who's Harry Crumb? (1989)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Paul Flaherty
Starring: John Candy, Jeffrey Jones, Annie Potts, Tim Thomerson
Factual error: When Harry is standing on the ceiling fan, the young boy pulls the lever backwards to increase the speed. If you read the side of the lever, you can see that the boy is actually pulling the lever to the slow direction. (00:40:30)
Harry Crumb: What's this? An egg?
Eliot Draison: It's a pterodactyl egg. It's fossilized. It's 90 million years old. In the entire world, only two of these have ever been found.
Harry Crumb: You know, that may be worth something.
Question: Does anyone know what the Kathleen Turner movie is that is playing when Annie Potts and Jeffrey Jones are together in her bedroom and John Candy is in the air shaft? Can't find it anywhere.
Answer: It's not a real movie and it's not Kathleen Turner. It was just done for the scene. The two people in the "movie" are Patrick McKenna and Daliah Novak who are credited as "TV Man" and "TV Woman."
