Goofs:

Continuity: When Eddie, Norby, and Veeko first notice Baby Bink on the bus and run toward their van to chase after him, Eddie's hair is all messed up and it and his face are still covered in bird seed, etc. from when he fell off the building. In the next scene, when they are driving after the bus, he's perfectly clean.

Quotes:

Norby: What's the name of the fairy tale with the egg on the wall?
Veeko: That was Nat King Cole.
Eddie: No, Nat King Cole stuck his finger in the pie and yanked out the bird.

I hurt myself laughing!!!

This is one of those films that should be watched when ever your feeling really down. I have found it impossible to not laugh and then feel better while watching this film. You can't take this film seriously however. It's as if a Warner Brothers cartoon was brought to life. So, you have to suspend your disbelief and just enjoy Joe Mantegna and his hapless lackies. Joe does a great job with character. Please, if you watch this film and don't like it; write me, and let me know why you didn't like it. I like to know.
