Corrected entry: After Thing rescues Fester, at one point, Thing disappears while driving. Otherwise, he's on the wheel.

Movie Nut

Correction: We see Thing jump from the steering wheel down to the gas and brake pedals. You'll have to be more specific about when he "disappears."

Corrected entry: Debbie speaks of her first husband, a heart surgeon. Then he couldn't have been attending to the Pope when he had a cold.

Correction: For someone with a serious heart disease, or recovering from surgery, a cold can be deadly. If he was his appointed physician he would be attending in case the heart can't handle it and he needs emergency surgery.

Heart surgeons never treat people who have a cold and it was never mentioned or implied that the pope had heart surgery at all.

Again, a personal physician would be doing everything health related. Doesn't matter if he is specialised. He is a doctor.

Corrected entry: When Debbie comes to be the nanny, obviously it's the beginning of summer as the children go to summer camp and are not in school. While the children are at camp, Fester meets Debbie, marries her and they move away from the family. The children are at still at camp preparing an early Thanksgiving play, meanwhile, Fester and Debbie celebrate their wedding anniversary... We also see the baby's first birthday, and since the baby was already a couple months old when Debbie arrived, it is not possible for Fester and Debbie to have been married an entire year.

Correction: They are celebrating their 3 week anniversary, not a year. That totally fits in the timeline.

Corrected entry: In the guillotine scene, Wednesday says, "Place her on the block." Pubert is a boy, not a girl.

Correction: Wednesday and Pugsley were playing. They were pretending Pubert was Marie Antoinette, and they were the Revolutionary Tribunal about to execute her.

Corrected entry: When the two Native American children are turning the two camp directors over the open fire, they are turning the handle in the opposite direction the camp directors are turning.

Correction: This simply is not true. They are turned counter-clockwise by the kids. Both the kids and the directors are spinning this way. An optical illusion can let you think they are spinning them the other way around.

Corrected entry: How can Debbie's hand shoot out of her grave at the end? She was fried to ashes. Even though corpses resurrecting is a possibility in the Addams mythology, ashes reforming into a human body is beyond belief.

Shay

Correction: From what Wednesday says it's implied she set up a sensor and animatronic hand to 'scare him to death' - it could be a remnant of the props from the Shakespeare scene in the first movie.

Correction: I always thought she used Thing to do the trick, although the arm is much longer than Thing's.

Continuity mistake: When Wednesday and Pugsley are playing with the guillotine, Wednesday has a scroll in her hands, which she then rolls up. The shot changes and you can still see the rolled up scroll in her hands. However, the shot then changes again and you can now see Wednesday rolling up the already rolled up scroll.

Trivia: A third film in the series was planned after the previous film became a huge hit with audiences. Unfortunately, this sequel only managed to pull in about half of the original's box-office in domestic markets, and shortly after release co-star Raul Julia became seriously ill and passed away after suffering from a stroke. As a result of these two developments, the third film was cancelled and instead, children's media company Saban later "rebooted" the series with the film "The Addams Family Reunion" and a television series entitled "The New Addams Family." Though "Addams Family Reunion" is often cited as the "third" film in the series, it actually has no connection to the plot of the prior films and was produced and distributed by a different studio.

Answer: Michael Jackson was slated to record a song and music video for the film. The music video had him living in the Addams family mansion with angry townsfolk trying to drive him out of town for being scary and weird. The scene in the film was suppose to reflect that he scared "normal" kids, it had nothing to do with a scandal. When Evan Chandler started talking about his son being molested by Jackson, the song and music video were pulled and not included with the film. But the poster scene was left in. Later, when the scandal fully broke and more accusation were made, the joke of the scene took on another meaning.

Bishop73

Good thing the accusations were all false! :).

Answer: If memory serves, it's a poster for Heal the World? I think he probably screams because this song was WAY over-played on radio stations at the time! It certainly was in the UK where I am from so I imagine in America it was over-played so much more.

Chosen answer: Not only is it a reference to Jackson's general scary weirdness, but also his alleged pedophilia (child molestation), causing the boy to react in fear.

Impossible, the first pedophilia accusations were made just a few months before the movie came out.

Those accusations had been an open secret for a long time, though.
