| 1 | * BTeamSequel: For ''Beethoven's 2nd'', Len Blum took over writing duties from Creator/JohnHughes and Amy Holden Jones, while Rod Daniel replaced Brian Levant as director, since Levant was in pre-production for ''Film/TheFlintstones''. |
| 2 | * DawsonCasting: Although he looks much younger, Creator/CharlesGrodin was in his late fifties during the filming of both the first and second film. |
| 3 | * IronyAsSheIsCast: Creator/DebiMazar, who played a Cruella-esque villainess in the second film, is in real life an animal lover who adopted one of the puppies after the film was made, and would hug and apologize to the dogs after shooting any scene in which she had to be cruel to them. |
| 4 | * PlayingAgainstType: Creator/DeanJones as the evil Dr. Varnick. Doubles as a CastingGag, as Jones was {{typecast|ing}} as the sort of character Charles Grodin was playing in many Disney films of the 60s and 70s (starting with ''Film/ThatDarnCat''). And then just a few years later, he ends up voicing Grodin's character in the animated series. |
| 5 | * RealLifeRelative: Creator/IvanReitman's son, Creator/JasonReitman, worked on both ''Beethoven'' and ''Beethoven's 2nd'' as a production assistant, while Jason's sister, Creator/CatherineReitman, appeared in ''Beethoven's 2nd'' in a minor role as Janie, a girl whom Ted has a crush on and later befriends. |
| 6 | * ReferencedBy: The ''Series/YoungSheldon'' episode [[Recap/YoungSheldonS5E18BabiesLiesAndAResplendentCannoli "Babies, Lies and a Resplendent Cannoli"]], in which Missy (Creator/RaeganRevord) describes the titular dog as "a big, dumb dog." |
| 7 | * TechnologyMarchesOn: The climax of the first movie relies on Alice having to leave the car to call the police from a payphone. Nowadays, she would have called the police on her cell phone, thus remaining in the car and denying Ted the opportunity to plow the car into the warehouse. |
| 8 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 9 | ** Creator/SteveMartin, Creator/JohnCandy, Creator/DannyDeVito, Creator/BillMurray, Creator/DanAykroyd, Creator/JeffGoldblum, Creator/RickMoranis, Creator/RobinWilliams, Creator/EdONeill, Creator/TimAllen, Creator/JohnRitter, Creator/ChevyChase, Creator/MartinShort, Creator/JohnGoodman, and Creator/TomHanks were all considered for the role of George Newton. |
