Visible crew/equipment: When evil Debbie Jellinsky is electrocuted, two stunt wires/cables are visible on her shoulders in the first close-up shot.
Addams Family Values (1993)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Barry Sonnenfeld
Starring: Christopher Lloyd, Christina Ricci, Joan Cusack, Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia
Plot hole: It seems unlikely that Debbie would have managed to take the photographs of her husbands' murders she shows the Addams family at the end, especially considering the angle of the shot of the surgeon. He's not looking at the cam so she wasn't holding it.
Debbie: Isn't he a lady killer?
Gomez Addams: Acquitted.
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.
Question: I'm just curious but is it possible to actually kill a member of the Addams family? Fester survives both the bathtub electrocution and the bomb explosion, Pubert can stop the guillotine blade with his bare hand, and in the first film Pugsley willingly lets Wednesday electrocute him with no apparent ill-effects.
Answer: They originate as a cartoon (1938). So they are basically immortal cartoon characters like the Looney Tunes.

Answer: They can be killed. In the first movie, Morticia talks about several relatives who were murdered, and the whole family seems pretty scared when they're strapped in the electric chairs. They're hard core and lucky, but not immortal.
