  • The Danza: Amy O'Neill as Amy Szalinski.
  • He Also Did: The story was developed by Stuart Gordon, Brian Yuzna and Ed Naha. Gordon and Yuzna are known for the Re-Animator series of horror movies, and Naha, who cowrote the screenplay, also worked heavily in the horror genre, writing, among other films, Dolls and Troll.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: The non Rick Moranis parents are Julie Kotter, Max Headroom and Joyce Summers.
  • The Other Darrin: Diane (Marcia Strassman in the first two movies, Eve Gordon in the third movie).
    • The entire cast, in the TV show.
    • Within the TV show, Quark, who was a white terrier in the original movie, is inexplicably a larger, black-and-white dog named Matese in season one, and is replaced with another terrier in season two -- as a plot point.
  • What Could Have Been: Honey, I Blew Up The Kid was originally written as a separate movie Big Baby. It was rewritten as a sequel.
    • Stuart Gordon was originally intended to direct the first film and either Chevy Chase or John Candy would have starred. Candy was the one who recommended Rick Moranis for the part.
      • Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves was originally slated for a $40 million budget which got cut down to $7 million when Disney decided to try it as its first live-action direct-to-video release. Thankfully the fact that VFX technology was ten years ahead of the first film by that point, it still looks pretty good. The shrink machine effects are actually way more elaborate.
