The film was heavily influential on the Klasky Csupo animation studio and the animated series Rugrats (1990), developed for the new line of animation on the Nickelodeon network. Bruce Willis would later go on to voice Spike in Rugrats Go Wild (2003).
Mollie:
You spent forty years with a man who looked good in a uniform? Ma, you had no idea if he was a mature, responsible person!
Rosie:
If I thought like that, we wouldn't have gotten through the first week. And that was some week!
During the very last scene James and Mikey go to a hospital to see Molly. While walking into her hospital room you can see it's obviously a set/sound stage when you look up at the top, in the corner(s), you will see it for a few good seconds.
After Pete Townshend's "Let My Love Open the Door" finishes playing, the remainder of the end credits have absolutely no other music or audio playing during them.
Mollie's line "Now it's shit!" when she slams Mikey's diaper onto a desk has been dubbed to "Now it's junk!" for some TV versions.
