When asked to name the highest point in South America, Dexter says, "Aconagua" and gets the answer right.
In reality the mountain is called, "Aconcagua" (note the added letter "c").
When Pete and Annie are reviewing the "Applejack" sequence on their reel to reel tape recorder, the reels change speed between the close-ups and medium shots.
After being spray painted by the kids and driving through the haystack, Arno's face is red, but his hair isn't.
Later, in the studio his hair does have some red paint in it.
In the chase scene, Dexter's friends are seen pouring paint on the road.
As the car that A.
Arno is in drives through the paint, it splatters the side of the car.
In the next seen, the paint is gone.
All subsequent parts of the chase scene have the same problem.
When the doctor, Dean Higgins and Prof.
Quigley are looking into Dexter's eyes during the medical examination, they are using an otoscope (a device used to look into ears).
The correct instrument should be an ophthalmoscope.
The very last question in the $100,000 knowledge contest asked the name of the Midwest city that is in the area known as the "geographic center of the U.
" Medfield answered Lebanon, KS and won the contest.
However, that answer is incorrect because of the way the question was phrased.
Lebanon, KS is the geographic center of the 48 states, not the U.
The official markers there are worded that way.
The center of the U.
is a site in South Dakota about 20 miles north of Belle Fourche.
There is a USGS benchmark on the spot which moved from Lebanon, KS in 1959 after Alaska and Hawaii became states, 10 years before this movie came out.
Although the character is known as Dexter "Riley," all onscreen spellings of his name in this film are "Reilly".
This film is unique and interesting especially for the time. It's great to see a young kurt Russell and a good goofy fantasy.
I'm constantly amazed at how well movies on Disney+ are preserved. Even a lot of 80s movies don't have the film quality this film does (from 1969).
I went to see this movie when I was ten years old and I loved it. Looking back and watching again as a 60-year old brings back good memories.
This was a super silly and fun movie to watch. I liked the plot, characters, characters development, storyline of the story.
Wow, this is a A fantastic movie for family movie night. Kurt Russell is AMAZING actor!!
1960s Disney ends with a good, just not exceptional, film. It has been a long, up and down decade from the studio, with most falling under that category or lower.
It should be noted Kirk Cameron never wears any tennis shoes in this film. He wear basketball hightops and they look like converse.
This film comes from an era when Disney made good live action movies for the whole family to watch, I remember these movies fondly from my childhood so I was delighted to get a copy of this film to reminisce. Starring Kurt Russell as a college student this film boasts a massive cast of film and TV legends including Cesar Romero (The Joker from the Batman TV series), Joe Flynn (The Love Bug), William Schallert (practically every TV series - check out his bio) and even Pat Harrington Jr (appeared in loads and loads).
