TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

According to Wil Wheaton, in the scenes that he was in with Robin Williams, they would film a take the way it was supposed to be filmed. After that take, Williams would often want to improvise scenes differently than the script, just for fun. Those scenes were not added to the actual film, but there were enough scenes to make an entirely different movie.

John Hughes' first choice for the role of Professor Philip Brainard was always Robin Williams. He lined up some other choices including Christopher Lloyd, Jeff Goldblum, John Lithgow, Tim Allen, John Goodman, and Sir Patrick Stewart. As soon as Williams made peace with The Walt Disney Company, Hughes immediately cast Williams in the lead.

Christopher McDonald almost declined the role of Wilson Croft when he was offered it before Robin Williams signed on to star. He felt that the role was too similar to those of the ones he played in Thelma & Louise (1991) and Happy Gilmore (1996). At the time Williams had a falling out with The Walt Disney Company and other actors were considered for the role of Professor Philip Brainard. Williams reconciled with Disney before production and McDonald ultimately accepted the role solely for the reason that he had always wanted to work with Williams and was willing to play any role possible for that opportunity.

In the film poster where Brainard is wearing his goggles and Flubber is not wearing his glasses, a few bubbles of flubber in the upper right-hand corner form a hidden Mickey.

Sound designer Andrew M. Somers created the sound of Flubber by using a rubber balloon filled with water, Metamucil, and air. The Metamucil became "gloopy" and in the balloon, it helped make a rubbery, gurgly sound. The voice of Flubber, performed by Scott Martin Gershin, was processed to raise the pitch in order to sound small and squeaky.

"Phillip Brainard: I love you with every cell, with every atom. I love you on a subatomic level."

"[Smith and Wesson hold ice packs on their heads; Hoenicker approaches] Chester Hoenicker: All right. One more time, what happened? Wesson: He took a golf ball, he rubbed this cream on it, and then the golf ball took off and... [clicks his tongue] Wesson: ...popped Smith in the head. Smith: Several times. Chester Hoenicker: Mm-hmm. Wesson: I got hit with a bowling ball. Smith: Repeatedly. Chester Hoenicker: Were you drinking? Wesson: No. Smith: Two beers at dinner. Wesson had a white wine. Wesson: With dinner. Chester Hoenicker: Right. Wesson: It's this stuff he's got, sir. It's... I don't know what it is, I don't know where it comes from, but... [Smith and Wesson both sigh and remove the ice packs, revealing their bruised and swollen lumps] Wesson: ...it will give you one heck of a headache. Chester Hoenicker: Oh! Goodness."
