Uncle Buck Goofs/Mistakes

  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When Buck gets his hat back at the party he puts it on his head and the top of it is partially smashed in. When we see the hat again only seconds later it is not.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When Uncle Buck is drinking on the couch, at first, from the front, the label on his beer bottle is to his right at first. In the next cut, from behind him, the label is on his left side. Then, when viewed again from the front, the label is again on his right side.
  • Movie Goof (miscellaneous): Buck says Chanice gave him new shocks for his car, but the car bounces up and down all the time, as if the shocks are worn out.
  • Movie Goof (crew or equipment visible): When Buck takes the cat back out of the house, as he walks through the doorway you can see a person standing behind the door waiting to close it. This person is a lot taller than a six year old.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): In some scenes, Uncle Buck's car has a red "Tow Away" tag attached to the windshield and in others it does not.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): In the bowling alley scene where Tia is being hit on by the drunk guy, Pal, sitting to her right, the camera changes to Uncle Buck celebrating his strike. You can clearly see that Pal is not sitting next to Tia in the shot.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): The size of the pancakes change. In the first shot the pancake is extremely large. When Buck begins to flip it over, it is a lot smaller.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When Buck is smoking near the fireplace on the couch the length of his cigar ash changes.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When the teacher is asking the class a question and Maisy raises her hand, a girl in the background can be seen with a book and a box of crayons on her desk. In the next shot of Maisy, the crayons and book are missing.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When Buck plays with the antique plate, he accidentally drops it, but he picks up a 'different' plate when he says "Unbreakable".
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): Before Chanice slams her hand on the ink pad, her sleeve is up. When her hand lays on the pad, the sleeve is down and back up when she lifts her arm.
  • Movie Goof (revealing mistake): During the shot right after Buck makes his long cough while on the phone with Bob, it appears that there is a person in bed laying beside Buck, even though Chanise is at her own home.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): At the beginning of the bowling alley scene, Uncle Buck rolls a ball in unison with a man on the next lane. We then see the ball knock over all the pins, but when they cut back to Buck celebrating his strike, the man next to him is rolling another ball already.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When Buck drops Tia off at school, the grab on Tia's door is broken but later in the scene the grab is fixed.
