* DawsonCasting: Though unintentional, there could be a minor discrepancy with Adam's age in the third movie. Assuming the films are set in the years they were released, that would make Adam 7 or maybe 8 years old in the third movie which came out in 1997. Actor Bug Hall who played Adam in the third movie was 12 years old at the time and he wouldn't really pass for a 7-year-old. This could possibly make the third movie's setting roughly [[NextSundayAD 3 to 4 years]] after 1997.

* ItsASmallWorldAfterAll: (And we're not even going for IncrediblyLamePun here!) Russ Jr. and Nick get caught on a bumble bee and flown all over the yard, inexplicably being dropped off not far from Amy and Ron.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice :[[spoiler:Anty.]]
