Factual error: The baby is expanded to approximately fifty times his height, width and girth but it's explicitly stated that he retains his orginal mass. This means he will have the same volume as one hundred and twenty five thousand babies of his original size, but will weigh the same as before he was enlarged! That child is going to weigh much less than the volume of air he displaces. He's going to float away.
Honey I Blew Up the Kid (1992)
Directed by: Randal Kleiser
Starring: Rick Moranis, Marcia Strassman, Daniel Shalikar, Robert Oliveri
Revealing mistake: While Nick and his father are driving home with the giant baby behind (an obvious green screen projection), the baby breaks a tube from the car and throws it to the floor. Nick bends down to pick up a prop located offscreen, to add up for realism, but the problem is that he bends down before the baby throws it, so the whole trick is revealed.
Revealing mistake: When Mandy falls inside the Porsche, her stunt double is noticeable because she is way older than her.
Trivia: The Ark of the Covenant from Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) can be seen in the same warehouse where the shrinking machine is being stored.
Trivia: This movie was originally going to be entitled "Honey, I Blew Up the Baby." However, the studio changed the title for fears of negative feedback.
Nick: Adam! Don't eat us.
Wayne: Oh no. Honey, I shrunk the kids.
