The fountain of the little boy peeing is actually a copy of the Manneken Pis fountain in Brussels, Belgium, which is the National Monument of the Kingdom of Belgium.
Walter:
Well, thanks to that fall, we're now the same height.
When Walter's lungs are compressed from falling into the hole with the carpet, trapping his arms, he is unable to shout out to Montgomery Schrapp (plot device). In the following scene when Anna is searching for him, he is clearly able to shout to her: "Upstairs!!" (full Tom Hanks signature shout).
When originally released theatrically in the UK, the BBFC made cuts of 5 seconds to secure a 'PG' rating. All cuts were waived later in 1986 when the film was re-rated with a '15' certificate for home video.
