Problem Child

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.

Trivia: In a deleted scene, Junior terrorized the milkman and the paperboy with a remote control helicopter. Eventually, the toy helicopter crashed through the Healy's front door. This explains why the window in the front door is smashed when Martin Beck arrives. Also, Junior wears the soldier uniform from that scene when he drives the car into Big Ben's Sporting Goods.

Trivia: When Ben races off to rescue Junior, he intentionally runs over his neighbour's flowers for no reason. This is because a scene was deleted where his mean neighbour forced him to pick up his cat's poop from the flowerbed.

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.

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.
