13. Buzz's Girlfriend Is Played By A Boy
What kind of girl could love Buzz, Kevins demonic older brother? Kevin finds out firsthand when he comes across a picture of her in Buzzs room. Kevins visibly unimpressed, proclaiming Woof! at the picture; and to be fair, its not a flattering pic. Director Chris Columbus felt it would be too cruel to actually cast an ugly girl for the photo, so instead he decided to cast a boy instead. The art directors son was chosen, and after applying a dodgy wig and a bit of make-up the correct level of woofness was achieved. Whether or not it was right to cast an ugly boy instead is a matter of opinion, but it showed a little bit of sensitivity on the directors part.
