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

Goofs
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.

Quotes
[Delivering Alfalfa's letter to Darla]
Buckwheat: Dear Darla, I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You're scum between my toes! Love, Alfalfa.

Crazy credits
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.

Alternate versions
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.

Excellent!

I can not believe some of the peoples comments about this movie being stupid. What did you expect from a kids movie, to come out of it feeling inspired? No, it's just a happy-go-lucky kids movie which i can proudly say i have watched over and over again to this day! And one user commented 'How do the kids expect to marry women in the future, with a Woman Haters club' ? Oh my god, get over yourself! Although i haven't seen the original to this, i can praise this version as a feel good film.

The basic plot is about Spanky and Alfalfa, childhood friends, who have a group called the 'He-man Women Haters club' with their other pals Porky, Buckwheat, Froggy and so on. Though Secretly, Alfalfa loves girls and has a girlfriend,Darla, who he one day has lunch with in the Boys club! When the boys find out Alfalfa lied, they ruin his lunch with Darla (Kitty Litter sandwiches and so-called grape juice!). Unfortunately and accidentally, the clubhouse burns on fire, and the boys must enter a go kart race to win money to fund repairs for their clubhouse! An excellent movie whatever other people say! 9/10 and im sticking to it!
