Plot Summary

Clifford
In this dark comedy a mischievous ten year old boy named Clifford is sent to his uncle Martin's for the weekend to get out of his father's hair. It turns out Clifford has a dying obsession to go to "Dinosaur World", a theme park near Martin's house and nothing will get in his way to get there.

Goofs

Clifford
  • Continuity: In the restaurant, Mr. Ellis gives Sarah a choker necklace. It's extremely tight-fitting, and this is explicitly commented upon. Later in the same scene, the necklace is clearly much longer, and Sarah easily removes it by lifting it over her head.
  • Continuity: Towards the beginning of the movie, Father Clifford is standing in front of a brick wall when Roger jumps from a window and lands on Clifford. Clifford goes down, but the camera does not move. Right before Clifford and Roger get up, the shadows on the brick wall instantly shift, revealing that scene was edited together from multiple takes.
  • Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The mini-mart clerk is played by Shelley DeSai, and later in the movie, the same actor can be seen at the anniversary party walking by the camera after Martin was taken away by the police. Why would a mini-mart clerk be at a rich mansion for an anniversary party?
  • Continuity: Martin's answering machine message says "...I've got a bomb under City Hall." When Clifford was recording their talk, Martin never said "under". If that was in the answering machine message originally, there is no way that Clifford could have known the exact moment Martin would say "under" or "number" which sounds like "under". Furthermore, the "I got a bomb" could not have been the length from "Hello, this is Martin Daniels. I'm not here right now..." until "under".

Trivias

Clifford
  • Filmed in 1990.
  • Was one of many films (including RoboCop 3 (1993)) produced by Orion and filmed years before its release date. The reason it was not released until 1994 was due to company Orion's pending bankruptcy, and not because of bad press screenings, as some sources claim.
