Les petits garnements

Before filming each day, Penelope Spheeris would hug each child actor to ensure closeness and trust in the group.

Before Darla kisses Alfalfa in the boat, she flattens down his cowlick (at 10:53 on the DVD) but in the next shot (from behind Alfalfa at 10:56) it is still standing up. It then *pings* back up in the next shot (at around 59 mins). The cowlick is only visible at 10:56 in Full Frame format remastered from the original "spherical" (non-anamorphic) 35 mm negatives and is not visible in the Wide Screen format (which does not show the full height of the negatives). It is not a goof by the film makers, but rather by those who released the film in Full Frame format.

The end credits features two blooper montages with one featuring the main cast in the first half while the second half contained the other featuring the special guest stars.

The broadcast television version prepared for broadcast on ABC and Freeform is extended by several minutes, with the following additional material:

• Porky and Buckwheat both figure out through Petey that the note is for an emergency meeting.
• Additional dialogue in the He-Man Woman ('womun') Haters Club.
• Additional dialogue between Alfalfa and Darla on the boat.
• Right before the clubhouse fire, Stymie remarks "What's that smell?" (this better explains why Alfalfa looks in the clubhouse).
• During the clubhouse fire, a fire truck shows up which the rascals think is for them, but it drives past and turns down another street.
• Additional dialogue during the court scene.
• The gag with the two bearded men at the bank is taken further. Mr. Welling thinks it's another trick and grabs their beards, angering them and losing their business of investing $2 million dollars.
• When Buckwheat is searching for the note for Darla, she also adds: "Is this going to take all day?"
• After Butch says "This will be like stealing candy from a baby", Woim also says, "Last time we stole candy, we ended up with the chicken pox."
• Alfalfa tells Petey that love got him "conviction, probation, a frog in his leotard, and a butt naked chase".
• When Alfalfa asks to be in the talent show, Ms. Crabtree says that they're all booked up. Alfalfa then lies and says his aunt would die if she didn't hear him sing.
• Darla confronts Alfalfa after he sings at the talent show and Alfalfa replies that he heard her compliment him, inadvertently revealing that it was him at the ballet recital. Waldo then tells Alfalfa that he's entered in the race.
• During the building of 'The New Blur' montage, two of the club members steal the wheels off of a baby carriage.
