Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead

Audio problem: When the drag queens steal the car, Kenny yells "What are you queens doing in our car?" If you watch closely, his lips are saying "bitches" instead of "queens".

Audio problem: In the scene where Sue Ellen goes into Kenny's room and she says "When are you going to start helping me, you lazy little punk?" She mouths "prick" but was later dubbed over. (00:44:00)

Audio problem: In the scene where Kenny places a plant on his window sill, as he handles the pot containing the plant, you can see it is made of plastic. It then falls and sounds like a clay pot breaking.

Audio problem: When Mrs. Sturak interrupts Zack and Cynthia's car date, she switches her cane to her other hand and opens the door by the window to let Cynthia out. Neither one of her hands touches the door handle, but you can hear the door handle sound.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Sue-Ellen has just come home from work, she places her pocketbook on the kitchen island. In the next scene the secretary is going through Sue-Ellen's office and finds her pocketbook and goes through it. How can that be if Sue-Ellen brought it home with her? (01:17:15 - 01:19:35)
