Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Does anyone know to whom the three faces in the mail slot belong to?

[edit] Movie Title in Other Countries

What country does this version of this film called, Pay Attention to the Uncle! come from? --PJ Pete

[edit] Maizy's name

Her name is officially spelled M-A-I-Z-Y because it said in the captions and credits of the film. Her name is not M-A-I-S-Y, although some people state it being spelled that way. --PJ Pete

[edit] Errors/Edits

The film has contained various errors: Profanity and references to sex. However, when Uncle Buck was shown on television on certain channels, the profanity and references to sex were cut, and also the scene at Bug's house was cut, because in Bug's room, Bug was attempting to have sex with one of the girls while the party was in his house on the first story of the house. -PJ Pete

Profanity and references to sex are not "errors." They are content. PacificBoy 20:31, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

On television, it would be believed that they cut out swear words, although in the film, Buck's girlfriend said "You son of a bitch!" in one scene and on television, in that scene she says "You son of a..." and the word, "bitch" was cut, and the scene at Bug's house was cut, and on television, after the scene where Buck is on his way to Bug's house as he's on the road between the trees, the movie pauses and goes to the commercials and after the commercials, as the movie comes back, the next scene is where Tia walks the long path after she leaves Bug's house. --PJ Pete

The trivia secion has an error: The instrumental song playing during the nighttime scene when Bug asks Tia to go out to his car with him is "Small Time Hustler" by The Dismasters.

The baseline is actually a track called "Sport" from an album called "Hustler's Convention" which the Dismaster's to song also uses, as well as some other rap songs from time to time. URL discussing this can be found here: http://www.cocaineblunts.com/blunts/?p=164

[edit] Content Description

What was the reason why it received a PG rating in the United States? --PJ Pete

See your earlier reference to profanity and sexual references. PacificBoy 20:32, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Because a PG rating in the 1980's is equivalent to a PG-13 today. Uncle Buck didn't receive a PG-13 Rating mainly because there was no real on screen violence. The Clown Scene was the only violence in the movie, everything else was not shown & implied. There was also no nudity & There isn't a ton of "Strong Language" in the movie.--Hndsmepete 16:06, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
