Quotes
Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick:
Don't you take that tone with me Mitch. I lambed you once!
Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick:
Now stand back.
Mitch Evers:
Oh Maggie, come on...
Mitch Evers:
Ow!
Mitch Evers:
Why do you have to get so physical?
Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick:
Oh, stop being such a big baby. Let me take a look at it.
Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick:
You're acting worst than the twins.
Goofs
When Sharon (really Susan) is in the Rolls Royce in Boston, you can see the buildings, like apartment houses, through the back window. In the shot from the outside of the car, the street is shown, and there are none of the buildings that are seen from inside the car. It is an open street.
Alternate Versions
Early '80s Disney Home Video releases of "The Parent Trap" are missing the scene in the car between Sharon (playing Susan) and her father before they drive up to the ranch. Also missing is a dissolve between the scene where Sharon (playing Susan) is hearing about the new woman from the housekeeper and when she is going to the pool to meet the new woman(it becomes a straight cut and a few seconds are saved in the process).
