Directed by: Penny Marshall
Starring: Tom Hanks, John Heard, Robert Loggia, Elizabeth Perkins
Other mistake: When Josh and Billy are over the balcony dropping the water balloon on the mover on the street, the balloon is shown dropping from an overhead angle off course from hitting the man below, yet we hear him scream being hit, when it easily would have missed him where Josh dropped it.
Suggested correction: The delivery guy still probably got splashed.
Continuity mistake: When Josh just becomes big, he hands his baby sister a wallet. She lowers her hands beneath the border of the playpen. The immediate angle, barely a frame later, shows her hands above it. (00:14:45)
Trivia: The scenes from the amusment park in the movie were filmed at Playland, in Rye, NY.
Question: When Josh accuses John Heard of cheating at racquetball, was Heard in fact cheating, or did Josh just not understand the rules of the game?
Answer: Paul (John Heard) tells Josh that the serve has to cross the yellow line. When Josh calls the ball short, Paul is basically trying to cheat and claims he never said the ball has to cross the line. Although I'm trying to figure out what racquet sport their playing. It looks like they're playing on a handball court, but the racquet sports I know, the ball has to cross the short line (the yellow line in "Big") on the serve but you also serve from a service area where you have to stand in front of the short line, which they don't do.
