Question: How did Lawanda get rabies if she was never bitten by her dog?
Answer: The scene was never shown on TV or on video either but at some point Junior was able to get a sample of blood from a rabid dog that was in the back of a van that belonged to the two vets, but we never saw it happen.
Revealing mistake: Junior can't get on the Crazy Dance because he is a milimeter too short. After seeing Murph (the 20-year old in his class) and Trixie (on heels) get on it, Junior speeds up the ride and all the kids on it get dizzy and barf everywhere. If you look where the puke shoots out, it's a bit obvious it's not coming from their mouths, but from a point behind them. Most obvious are Trixie and the boy wearing glasses.
Lawanda Dumore: I hate children. They ruin everything. If I had enough power, I'd wipe them off the face of the earth.
Trivia: Actress Amy Yasbeck starred in both Problem Child movies; however, she plays different characters in the two films: in the first movie, she played Ben Healy's wife (and eventual ex-wife) Flo Healy. In this film, she played Annie Young, mother of Trixie and the woman who Ben ultimately falls in love with.
Answer: She didn't. Junior deliberately contaminated her blood sample with the rabid dog blood he swiped from the vets.
