Jack

Movie (1996)

"Jack Powell is about to tackle his biggest adventure ever... the fifth grade!"

Jack Powell suffers from an affliction that makes him grow four times faster than normal, so the 10-year-old looks like a 40-year-old man. After years of being tutored at home, Jack convinces his overprotective parents to send him to public school. The children don't know what to make of Jack, but with the help of his fifth-grade teacher, he makes an effort to win them over.

Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • In the scene where Lawerence Woodruff (played by Bill Cosby) visit Jack and his friends at their tree house, Woodruff eagerly spots a cigar box but is disappointed when he discovers that it is filled with toys and not cigars. The cigar box is a genuine Cuban Partagas cigar box and both Bill Cosby and the film's director Francis Ford Coppola are avid cigar smokers in real life.
  • Ryan Acton, photo double for main lead, after being told he wasn't needed and he wanted to go to school, then was called back on set. He wouldn't get out of the car, when Francis Ford Coppola asked him to get to make up. Robin Williams was nice enough to get in the car and talk with him. Ryan didn't tell his mother the story of what Robin said for a couple of years. He said "Hi Ryan, I am your Funny Double, and if you don't want to get out of the car, it's okay." He then got out, and was made up, and then not used that day.
  • Movie Goof (boom mic visible): Visible during the scene in the cafeteria.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: Jack is wearing a green flannel shirt when talking with his teacher moments before his fall, but when he walks out of the classroom his shirt has become gray flannel.
