Big/YMMV

"Josh's mom: POLIIIIIICE!!"
 * Better on DVD: The extended cut elaborates further regarding Josh's wish to be big.
 * Funny Moments: Adult Josh trying to convince his mom its him by showing his birthmark, which he pulls his pants down to show her. But she thinks he's some kind of sick pervert.


 * Hilarious in Hindsight: Tom Hanks' character works at a toy company, and years later, would star in another movie involving toys.
 * The film features Product Placement for Pepsi. The location where the Zoltar was at the end of the film is now occupied by a Pepsi machine.
 * At a board meeting, Josh is unimpressed by a Transformers style toy that turns into a building, asking "Couldn't it turn into a bug? Like a prehistoric bug?".
 * At Josh's apartment, he has a model of a Saturn V rocket from the Apollo space program. Several years later, Tom Hanks would star in Apollo 13.
 * Overlapping with Technology Marches On, Billy scoffing at Josh's interest in computer work is pretty funny now that computer skills are a very helpful thing to have.
 * The movie actually seems to have been aware of this, as it's his computer skills that get Josh a job.
 * Nightmare Fuel: The Zoltar machine.
 * Tom Hanks Syndrome: This movie marks Tom Hanks' transition from a comedic actor to a dramatic actor.
 * Unfortunate Implications: Josh has sex with a woman in his adult body. While he's still mentally thirteen.
 * So would that make him a cake eater or her a Shotacon?
