• Initially, the film was not intended to be a sequel at all. Its working title was "Big Baby" and the plot centered around an infant who grew to enormous size after accidentally being hit by an enlarging ray and then terrorizing nighttime Las Vegas. Disney saw a favorable opportunity to turn the film into a continuation of its hit, and the script was rewritten.
• In the secret storage of the laboratory, one can notice such unusual items as Charles Kane's sled from the film "Citizen Kane" (1941) and the Ark of the Covenant from the film "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981).
• The film debut of fifteen-year-old Kerry Russell at the time.
• Amy Zalinski, who was one of the main characters in the original film, received so little screen time due to the initial script concept, which envisioned only one key female role – Adam's nanny. The creators resolved this by showing her leaving the house and going to college at the very beginning of the film. For the same reason, none of the Thompson family appeared in the sequel.
• The scene where the giant Adam is about to put a car in his mouth, and Nick shouts to him, "Adam, don't eat us," serves as a kind of reference to a similar episode in the original film. In it, Nick, in the same situation but with his father, said, "Dad, don't eat me."
• After the film's release, Disney received a lawsuit accusing it of plagiarism from one of the leading television shows, whose creator came up with the idea of a baby enlarged many times over while watching his little granddaughter destroy structures made of building blocks. He wrote a script that was later revised but remained unused. The studio preferred to settle the matter amicably.
