Trivia

In the French version (dubbed in Quebec, at least), Judy's line, "I'm sorry, dear, you have the wrong number," which she speaks in a fake English accent, is still in English but is spoken with a regular North American accent. Additionally, the two French girls who hear the game at the very end speak Spanish instead of French. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: Carl's license plate is G2298, but when he recovers it from the monkeys' joy ride, it has Mrs. Thomas' plate, DBA454, on the front. See more »
