What does the actress being Irish even have to do with it? It does not justify executing a child.

* WouldHurtAChild: Young Patrick is actually put on death row and set to be executed because of the danger his farts represent.

Unsurprisingly a massive failure on release, but has gained cult status due to its cartoony Creator/RoaldDahl-esque feel. It was also featured on ''WebSeries/RedLetterMedia'''s show ''WebVideo/BestOfTheWorst'', where the crew notably disqualified it from the judging process for being what they considered too well-made and entertaining of a film to be called SoBadItsGood.
