Line 21:
* [[All There in the Script]] -- Joe Pesci's character is named "Mr. Big" in the credits, but is not referred to as such via dialogue. The villain reveals his name is "Frankie Lideo" early on (an in-joke; Jackson's manager at the time was Frank DiLeo...who later played a character nicknamed Mr. Big in the first ''[[Wayne's World]]'' movie), but no one else refers to him by name.
* [[BFG]] -- Being a drug dealer, it makes sense that Frankie has a [[Wave Motion Gun]] the size of a building, hidden behind a retractable mountainside. Which is controlled using hand cranks. Yes.
▲** "Man on the Mirror" is about making the world a better place, with visuals focusing on peacemaking and charity. It's harder to take that seriously when "Smooth Criminal" has Michael shooting off a machine gun during the sequence in Club 30s and blowing up all the villains in the climax.
* [[But Not Too Evil]] -- The Blu-Ray version has been cut; we no longer see Mr. Big attempt to inject Katie, nor do we see Michael [try to] threaten Mr. Big.
* [[But Now I Must Go]] -- Averted: Michael turns into a space ship and flies away after saving the day while his young playmates say "He's leaving"...but he doesn't actually go anywhere.
