History Film / HoneyIShrunkTheKids

* BigEater: Adam in the second movie, he eats [[ BuzzSawJaw 12 ice cream bars in seconds ]] and belches pretty loudly.

* ''Series/HoneyIShrunkTheKids: The TV Show'' (1997-2000): More inventions, more problems for the Szalinskis in this three-season syndicated sitcom. TheOtherWiki's entry on it posits that this is either an AlternateContinuity from the films or set between the first two; it features no movie cast members.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In the third film, Adam and Mitch look at a magazine that Adam thinks would get him in trouble with his dad and that the parents can't see from their angle on the floor. [[spoiler: Wayne crawls up on the magazine after the boys leave and discovers its a regular issue of ''Sports Illustrated.'' Wayne seems nearly as upset as he would have been if it really had turned out to be a Magazine/{{Playboy}}, though not because of what the magazine turned out to be, but because Adam would think he'd be so upset about it. This is what starts Wayne's character growth in this film and makes him start to realize that he needs to let Adam pursue his own interests instead of forcing him into the sciences; his own son is actually afraid of him finding out he's into sports.]]

* HereWeGoAgain: At the end of the second movie Nick and Mandy are still shrunk in the car and Adam's stuffed bunny is still huge. Wayne tells a doubtful Diane he'll get the machine fix to shrink it back. Though Adam doesn't seem to mind.

* NonMaliciousMonster: The scorpion

* DemotedToExtra: Amy only briefly appears in ''Honey, I Blew Up The Kid'', and [[PutOnABus leaves for college]] before the end of the first act. Including the scene at all seemed to be mostly an excuse to get Diane out of the house again.

* DolledUpInstallment: ''Honey I Blew Up The Kid'' was originally a script called ''Big Baby''.

-->'''Marshall Brooks:''' Your kid. He's heading toward Las Vegas.

-->'''Marshall Brooks:''' Would this electromagnetic... would it surround neon lights too?

* PapaWolf: Russ Sr.

** Also, Las Vegas in the second movie [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial looks nothing like Reno at all]].

* EfficientDisplacement: Giant Adam leaving home.

* ImpactSilhouette: Adam in the second movie.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In the third film, Adam and Mitch look at a magazine that Adam thinks would get him in trouble with his dad and that the parents can't see from their angle on the floor.

** And moments before that, when she [[spoiler: also turns into a giant, she stops the helicopter]] Hendrickson is in, trying to shoot her baby with said tranquilizers. Considering they actually ''electrocuted'' poor Adam in the process, they're lucky Diane lets them keep their lives.

* WouldHurtAChild: Dr. Hendrickson's team in the second film tries to tranquilize giant toddler Adam by firing ''giant tranquilzer darts'' at him. They end up electrocuting him in the process, causing him to cry in one of the franchises' most [[TearJerker heartbreaking scenes]], and after traumatizing him to tears prepares to shoot him again. Diane is understandably [[MamaBear far less than pleased]] and makes sure they know it.

** In the third film, Wayne wishes that Adam preferred science to sports. Wayne comee around, though.

** Not to mention, the flaw in the growth ray in ''Honey, I Blew up the Kid'' is identical to the shrink ray's flaw in the first film (the laser beam is too powerful) yet no one in the lab figures it out.

** Two take a "ride" on a bee. They are flown all over the yard, which to them is 3 miles long. Despite the fact that in comparison size that bee is traveling at well over two hundred miles per hour, they do a remarkable job of hanging on. Maybe it's the lack of wind resistance.

* BeeAfraid: A giant bee accidentally picks up Nick when he's stuck in a flower, and

* EverythingIsTryingToKillYou: The tiny people spend most of the first and third movies running from one lift threatening situation to another.

* CaliforniaDoubling: The first movie was set in Fresno, but was shot in Mexico. The second one takes place in Vista del Mar, Nevada, but was shot in Florida.

* ILied / [[IsThatWhatHeToldYou That's Not What She Told Me]]: [[spoiler:Mae told Russ Sr. that Russ Jr. didn't make the team, which Russ Sr. was upset over. Later in the movie, while talking to the cops, Mae slipped that Russ Jr. actually quit but was afraid to tell his dad.]]

* WouldHurtAChild: Dr. Hendrickson's team in the second film tries to tranquilize giant toddler Adam by firing ''giant tranquilzer darts'' at him. They end up electrocuting him in the process. Diane is understandably [[MamaBear far less than pleased]] and makes sure they know it.

* FatBastard: Ricky in ''Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves''. He doesn't look it, but when he's threatening Adam in the third film, his stomach precedes him by several inches. The actor wore a fat suit initially... then in reshoots gained 40 pounds for the role to make Ricky look fatter all over.
