Uncle Buck mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The scene where the elementary school teacher asks his kid what they did that week. After he asks that question and Maizy raises her hand, look at the desk belonging to the girl in the row next to Maizy. It has crayons and other supplies on it. After the teacher calls Maizy's name, the shot goes back to her, showing the girl in the next row's desk completely empty. (00:58:00)

Buck: Hey, I stopped smoking cigarettes.
Cindy Russell: Oh, good.
Buck: Isn't that something? I'm on to cigars now. I'm on to a five-year plan. I eliminated cigarettes, then I go to cigars, then I go to pipes, then I go to chewing tobacco, then I'm on to that nicotine gum.

More trivia for Uncle Buck

Question: In the scene where Buck's brother rings him up to babysit there is a body in Buck's bed. In the scene before Buck is at a bar but brings no one home from the bar, so where did the the extra person come from?

Answer: You can't actually see a person, all you see is a human-sized lump under the covers. It's possible that it's just bunched-up blankets, some pillows, or even clothes.

So, I just noticed this in the movie. If you go at about 10 minutes and 21 seconds, you'll see the blankets move behind them real fast while he's on the phone.
