Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead

Other mistake: When Sue Ellen gets the roses from Gus, the tickets in the card have a date of April 6th 1990. This is suppose to be the summer of 1990, which means the tickets are no good. (01:03:00)

Other mistake: The movie is set in the summer of 1990 and Sue Ellen has stated she is 17 but when we see her drivers license her birthdate is stated as 12-19-73. That makes her 16 turning 17 in December. (01:24:00)

Audio problem: When the drag queens are stealing the kids' car, Sue Ellen and Kenny look at each other and say "Liza," but both of them mouth "sh*t." This was changed to keep the movie's rating down. (00:28:40)
