Directed by: Nick Castle
Starring: Christopher Lloyd, Walter Matthau, Joan Plowright, Mason Gamble
George Wilson: I can't stand that kid, he's a menace.
Mrs. Martha Wilson: Weren't you a fat boy?
George Wilson: I was husky.
Dennis: How old is this bed?
Mrs. Martha Wilson: It belonged to my mother.
Dennis: Where's she sleeping now?
Mrs. Martha Wilson: She's been gone many years, Dennis.
Dennis: On business?
Mrs. Martha Wilson: No, she's in Heaven.
Dennis: Oh, there's an awful lot of people in Heaven, especially old people.
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.
Trivia: The film was released as "Dennis" in the United Kingdom in order to avoid confusion with the British comic strip character, "Dennis the Menace."
Question: Why did Dennis run away from George and Martha's house?

Answer: Because of what George said to him in the house after he was robbed. He hurt Dennis' feelings so he ran away.
