* As listed on the Trivia page the movie ran through several names before ''The Parent Trap'' was settled on. And the Sherman Brothers had to write a possible theme song for each and every one. They perform snippets of the rejects in a DVD featurette, but odds are the full versions will never see the light of day.

* After Susan and Maggie arrive, Mitch goes off on Susan, who doesn't know what he's talking about, but tries to act like she does. Then he directs her to stay with the guests and play hostess while he showers, but then Sharon passes by his room wearing a different outfit and informs him that there are people downstairs. He gives a distracted "Yeah, I know," she leaves, and then he does a DoubleTake. He goes into his bathroom and finds a bra hanging on the shower door, one neither of his daughters would fill out. His WTF look is priceless.

* Fridge Humor but still: Ms. Inch having trouble with her opening speech. She's got the thing on cuecards and has presumably given the exact same speech every year for decades, but ''still'' can't remember it without help.
** It goes UpToEleven when she says her name, then has to consult the cards to make sure that really ''is'' her name.
* Ms. Inch holds a cake over her head during the food fight, only to stick it to a carved bird above her. She pulls down an empty plate, then quizzically looks up. Cue cake splat.

* Sharon (as Susan) is idly playing the piano while Mitch tries to tell her that he's engaged. Mitch is distracted and rambles a bit, then realizes that his daughter is playing quite well for someone who doesn't know how. Sharon immediately downgrades her playing ability to try and cover, saying that she learned at camp. Yeah, nice try.
