Visible crew/equipment: When Thomas J. is leaving from his porch, after Vada tries sneaking him out of his house to go spy on her dad at the Bingo game, if you look down at Thomas J.'S shoes after he steps off the porch, the red tape mark is visible.
My Girl (1991)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Howard Zieff
Starring: Anna Chlumsky, Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Macaulay Culkin
Audio problem: When Vada and Thomas J are running away from the bees, Thomas J yells, "Run faster, they're after us", but his lips aren't moving. Neither does Vada's, when she replies, "I am running faster."
Vada: Mrs. Sennett, don't worry, Thomas J. Will be all right. My mother will take care of him.
Question: Was there a specific reason why Dan Aykroyd and Macaulay Culkin never appeared onscreen together throughout the whole movie except after Thomas J's death?

Chosen answer: Most likely because there was no reason for a scene of them together to tell the story. It is assumed that because Thomas and Vada are friends, that Harry has interacted with Thomas many times before. There could have been scenes filmed with the two actors together that was later cut from the final film. This often happens to quicken the film's pace, shorten the running time, etc.
