Dennis the Menace (1993)
1 easter egg
Directed by: Nick Castle
Starring: Christopher Lloyd, Walter Matthau, Joan Plowright, Mason Gamble
Continuity mistake: When Dennis is in the bathtub you see some toys floating around in the tub. When it cuts from above him the toys are gone. Instead the whole tub is covered with foam. (01:28:20)
George Wilson: I can't stand that kid, he's a menace.
Trivia: Five years after this film was released, Christopher Lloyd—who plays the film's villain, Switchblade Sam—starred in the made-for-TV film "The Ransom of Red Chief," where he played a similar role: a criminal who kidnaps an unruly young boy who ends up turning the tables on his captors. Funny enough, Lloyd in that other film was also named Sam.
Question: Why does George go to find Dennis since he hates him? Did he also expect Dennis to listen to him after he had just scolded Dennis?
Chosen answer: He doesn't hate Dennis and does not want anything to happen to him. He's just a rather crotchety old man who is annoyed by a precocious kid. He may not expect Dennis to listen to him, but he at least makes the effort to reach out as most adults would.
