• When Rocky, Colt, and Tum-Tum are in their room their mother comes in and says that they (meaning the parents) are going out and just before she leaves her earring falls off. - Starr

• In the same scene with the earring falling off, if you notice they are two different earrings. - mary

• When Ted Danson is talking to his mother in the back ground behind the curtains you can see a kid looking at the camera. Rumor has it he is one of the producers kids, he is a kid that wonder into the set, or he is a ghost from a kid who jumped out the window. OOOOHHHH Spookie. - Dude
  • Correction: The goof mentioned by the Dude about the kid in the back of the scene is not true. When the rumor first started, it was said to be the ghost of the boy who lived in the apartment where the movie was being filmed. He died when he fell out the window. When his mother saw the movie, she saw him and screamed, "That's my son!" The result was a run on Three Men and a Baby at the video stores as everyone rushed to see the ghost of the dead boy. As it turns out, there was no dead boy or mother. The boy in the background was actually a cardboard cutout of one of the actors in the film, Ted Danson, I think. They even took a picture of Ted posing with the cardboard cutout and put it in People magazine, with a small article explaining this urban legend. - Jim M
  • Comment: In that same scene where Jack passes the two windows while his mother is there, yes, the second window does have a cardboard cutout inserted into one scene and as Danson goes by the window again it is gone, but also in the first window. Danson goes by the window and there is a rifle in the window, when he repasses that first window again, it is gone. I was told that this was the gun that the boy who killed himself used, but we all know now that this was not a goof, just a publicity stunt to get viewers interested in the movie just in case it did not do so well at the box office. - lisa46224
  • Comment: Everybody knows about the boy behind the window. Well if he was a fake then why does he appear again. When they are all singing Goodnight sweetheart its time to go, and the baby is sleeping in the crib. Look in the round window above the crib. At first he is not there, but then you will see his head float up in the window, then it will float back down. I have done research on where the movie was taped, and it was filmed in a real apt, and filmed on the 2nd floor. So why would they go to all of this trouble for a fake ghost sighting. - wazzzup
  • Comment: There is a ghost in the film and yes it is of the boy that lived in that apt. The film makers paid the mother of the boy a huge sum of money to film the movie in her apt after her son died of leukemia. When she saw the premier of the film she saw him, still dressed in the same outfit he passed away in and yes she tried to get the movie stopped. If you notice that the new movies don't included that scene or it was dubbed out. Answer this, why would they keep filming if there was a boy standing in the window? Because you can't see it in real life only on film since it goes so fast you have to really look, I never knew it was there until I was told it was. Stunt or not, I still believe that it's a ghost and it's of the woman's son. Rest his soul. - Just Me
  • Comment: Do you ppl also believe that The Blair Witch Project was true?!? There is no ghost in Three Men And A Baby. Here, straight from snopes.com, is the truth about the (rofl) "ghostly figure." "The strange figure seen behind the curtains of a window in the background of a Three Men and a Baby scene is a cardboard cutout of Ted Danson, not the supernatural image of a dead boy. Also, all filming took place on soundstages, not in any real house or apartment." Read all about this urban legend at the Urban Legends Reference Pages. - hikkchik
  • Comment: How can people keep saying that the little boy in the window is a cutout of Ted Danson in a tux with a tophat on? Look closely at the boy and you will see that he is definitely not wearing a tophat and it looks nothing like the cutout of Danson shown later in the movie. (VHS) - Christine

• When the firefighters and police are checking the burned building to determine if it was arson, a firefighter swabs the inside of a body's mouth, checking for ashes, to see if it had been smoking. If it is just a charred corpse, of course there are going to be ashes, right? But he doesn't find any! - PyRoPHiLe

• The plot is based in the early 80's (about that little explosion in Tschernobyl), but as the characters walk through a street there are several new cars in the background (VW Passat, Renault Clio etc.) - RoadRunneR

• While Sandra Bullock is talking to the ballplayer (can't remember his name), her shirt alternates from hanging out to being tucked in to hanging out until she sits down on the couch. - Snoopy

• During the fist fight scene between Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy, you can tell that they used a stunt double for Murphy no matter how hard they tried to hide it with dark lighting and quick edits. I guess they thought no one would noticed. - Soulman

• When Lucky is slipping on ice during the puppie's trek back home you can tell for about 2 or 3 seconds that Lucky's ears have forgotten to be painted black like they are in the rest of the movie. I wonder if that was done on purpose (I doubt the artist would draw so many frames without noticing the slip-up). - Bo Jangles

Richard Egan as Leonidas

• At the start of the movie, the Persians are seen marching into Greece. The Persians invaded Greece from the north by following the Aegean coastline. The movie shows the Persians marching with the Aegean to their right. This means they are marching north when they should be heading south.

• Throughout the whole movie the actors cant seem to pronounce the characters names right. For example Leonidas is pronounced at least five different ways. - pat

• Living room scene: can see camera crew in reflection of mantle mirror. - bones

• The "Leonov" has compartments with artificial as well as zero gravitation. It seems as if both the director and the actors from time to time forget were they are. In several scenes the actors don't even try to simulate weightlessness when they should do so. For example: Roy Scheider leans over a table, supporting on his elbow, while demonstrating something with a couple of floating pencils. - Olav Westerman

• When the "Nautilus" goes through the underwater-tunnel, we get some views seen from inside the wheel-house. Some of the cliffs seem to pass by directly under the windows, so the hull of the "Nautilus", on top of witch the wheel-house is placed, can't possibly have any room to pass over the cliffs. - Olav Westerman
