Corrected entry: At the end of the movie when it freezes, you can see that Uncle Buck's hand is up with a wedding ring on his ring finger. In this movie he was not married.
Correction: He holds up his right hand, not the left. You can tell by the position of his thumb.
Also, it's the horseshoe ring he wore all through the movie, not a wedding ring.
Correction: When he is at the school, waiting to see the assistant principle you can see he is wearing rings on both hands.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Buck hits golf balls at Bug, look closely at the golf club that Buck pulls out of the car. It is a wood for left-handed players - yet Buck hits the ball righty.
Correction: No, Buck actually hits the ball left handed. Look closely and you will see he is hitting the ball from the left side. The scene is correct, with the correct clubs for Buck.
Correction: If you pause the movie at this scene, you can see that Buck is hitting the ball AWAY from the camera and, in fact is hitting it left handed.
Question: When Uncle Buck is going to the party to get Bug, he is stopped at a red light and there are two parents in the car next to him. The father says, "don't go in there with that hat on, they'll kill you". Why would someone be killed for wearing a hat?
Chosen answer: He's being sarcastic, as Buck says in the beginning some of his hats anger a lot of people, which probably connects to when his hat gets taken by one of the teenagers at the party.
Buck is actually referring to his aviator style hat in the earlier scene about people being angered by it. He's wearing the fedora style hat in the scene en route to the party. But I agree the guy was being sarcastic about teenagers.
The black purse bedside to the possible 'pile of bunched-up blankets' looks like Chanice's from later scenes; suggesting the writers or Hughes changed the script after the bedroom scene was shot to Buck's simpler but delightfully funny half-conversation with her on the phone.
Answer: The Uncle Buck movie was made in the late 80s, near the end of the Cold War. And Because the hat resembles the Russian ushanka worn by Russian soldiers in that time, it can be said that wearing it might anger some, especially young Americans opposed to world events at the time.
Answer: You can't actually see a person, all you see is a human-sized lump under the covers. It's possible that it's just bunched-up blankets, some pillows, or even clothes.
So, I just noticed this in the movie. If you go at about 10 minutes and 21 seconds, you'll see the blankets move behind them real fast while he's on the phone.
