Problem Child 2

Eccentric toymaker Kenneth Zevo (Donald O'Connor) last wish is that his brother, Leland (Sir Michael Gambon), takes over the running of the business. Leland is out of touch with toymaking and reality too. The business should really have been given to his nephew, Leslie (Robin Williams), who was much more like Kenneth. When Leland starts making weapons instead of toys, Leslie decides to take action. —Rob Hartill

Goofs
In the arcade scene, a cabinet of the Konami shoot 'em up Lightning Fighters is shown. However, upon seeing the game itself, it is actually the Sega flight simulator Strike Fighter.

Quotes
Patrick Zevo: I can't even eat. The food keeps touching. I like military plates, I'm a military man, I want a military meal. I want my string beans to be quarantined! I like a little fortress around my mashed potatoes so the meatloaf doesn't invade my mashed potatoes and cause mixing in my plate! I HATE IT when food touches! I'm a military man, you understand that? And don't let your food touch either, please?

Crazy credits
During the credits, we see a dreamlike sequence of the elephant statue from Kenneth's grave flying over the hills.

Why Robin, Why?????

This will be short. Don't see this film. It's horrible!!! The plot was pathetic, the acting was ridiculous, and the entire idea bored me to tears. Whatever they were trying to prove by showing an evil military mind corrupting youths by having them play violent video games is shielded by the nauseating quality of this film. Someone had to wrestle a shoe out of my hand because I was going to hurl it at the TV to end this monstrosity of a movie. DON'T SEE IT!!
