Dennis the Menace

Factual error: When the shop vac shoots the golf ball at Mr. Wilson's gonads, it only affects him for around ten minutes. The shop vac was able to shoot a glob of paint over 50 feet in the air so the speed and impact of the golf ball would have done much more than put Mr. Wilson in extreme pain for a short while. The impact would have likely caused internal bleeding, swelling, causing him to vomit, probably a rupture, requiring him to be hospitalized. There is no way he is walking away from that, he wouldn't even be walking at all.

Factual error: When Dennis uses the shop vac to clean up the paint he spilled, he takes the vacuum outside and flips the switch to "out" which the shop vac shoots a glob of paint into the air. In reality, the paint would actually ruin the fan inside the shop vac, causing it to jam.

Factual error: When Dennis's mom is outside Margaret's house and she is dragging Dennis inside, take a close look down the street. You can see Mr. Wilson's house and Dennis's house right next to Margaret's house. How is that possible if they drove to get there? (00:17:00)

Continuity mistake: When Dennis is in Mr. WIlson's bathroom after his bath, pouring mouthwash in his nose spray, Dennis has toothpaste all over his chin and mouth. When they show Dennis from the side, it is gone. From the front it is there again. This happens several times in the shot.

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?

THE GAMER NEXT DOOR

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.
