    • Trivia
      Some of the Medfield College exterior scenes were filmed in the Disney Studios courtyard. The background buildings were the old animation buildings on the corner of Mickey Avenue and Dopey Drive.
    • Goofs
      When chasing the invisible car, Dexter tells the other college students to keep their eye or for anything. Just after that the invisible cast drives through a puddle of water on the side of the road without having any effect on the tires becoming visible again. This should have happened since water is what neutralizes the invisibly spray.
    • Quotes

      Dexter Riley: Yeah but the main thing is I can make myself invisible! I mean can you image that? Look, look, look, human flesh, invisible!

    charming family fun
    College dean Higgins (Joe Flynn) is trying to cut the chemistry department budget. He dismisses all the science being done by the students. A lightning strike hits the lab. The next day, Dexter Riley (Kurt Russell) checks the damaged experiments and discovers an invisibility liquid. He shows his friends Richard Schuyler and Debbie Dawson. Crooked investor A.J. Arno (Cesar Romero) has bought up the college's mortgage. The Dean is clueless but the three friends suspect Arno has nefarious motives.

    This is the second of the Dexter Riley movies from Disney. It is charming family fun. There is an endearing innocence about these movies. Baby-faced Kurt Russell is great. I also love the pre-CGI special effects. As a kid, I was engrossed by them. As an adult, I am enchanted by them. The story is silly but that's also part of the charm.
