* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: The film is generally remembered as a kids' film, what with it centering on the adventures of a bunch of kids. However, the film features a man hanging from a noose, a child stuck in a closet with a corpse (which has a ''visible bullet wound'' in the forehead; tiny and essentially bloodless, yes, but still a headshot), a deformed man chained up in a basement, panty shots of a teenager, jokes about drugs, a whole scene dedicated to a statue's penis and several scenes of adolescents swearing. When the SpecialEdition was released celebrating its 25th Anniversary with a PG-13(12A) rating some were surprised, until they viewed the film [[ParentalBonus through adult eyes]].

* DirectorDisplacement: It's very common for people to think that the film is directed by Creator/StevenSpielberg, rather than Creator/RichardDonner (who is [[Film/SupermanTheMovie hardly obscure]], [[Film/LethalWeapon himself]]). He has only producer and story credits. (This is true of a number of Spielberg-produced films.) He did direct all of the gorillas scenes in the movie, however those have never been released. The only evidence we have the shots were filmed is by interviews and extremely low quality footage of some of the footage.
