Corrected entry: In the scene where The "Beaver" is putting on his football uniform in the locker room, his 21 jersey is either on inside-out, or the film is reversed. When he appears on the field in the next scene, his 21 jersey is on correctly.
Leave It to Beaver (1997)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Andy Cadiff
Starring: Christopher McDonald, Janine Turner, Cameron Finley, Erik von Detten
Continuity mistake: When the kids are telling Beaver that he has to climb into the teacup, the kid with the heabands hair keeps changing. In one shot, it's hanging over the headband, and in the next the headband is in front over the hair, and it keeps going back and forth.
Gilbert Bates: Yo, I'm Gilbert. This summer, my parents shipped me off to camp. I caught impetigo. And when I got back, my dad had moved out. Only since then he moved back, but he's still sleepin' in my room and he's sleeping on the couch.
Question: I remember in the commercials for this film, there was a shot of a catatonic beaver in a padded cell, in a straitjacket. What was the context?
Answer: His teacher wanted him to see a psychologist as he didn't seem to be hitting the mile markers other kids his age were. His parents imagined this when this was suggested as that used to be what seeing a psychologist meant back in the day. That if they found anything wrong, they would lock the person up in an asylum in a straight jacket. This was showing his parents' fear that he might end up there for seeing a psychologist.

Correction: That's because in the locker room, the view is of Beaver looking at himself in the mirror, so his image is reversed.
