Editing Problem Child 2 (section)

==Production==
The film was shot on location in [[Orlando, Florida]] from January 16 to March 15, 1991, including the then-newly opened [[Universal Studios Florida]]. The "Pizzariffic" scene was filmed at a small, vacant restaurant on Orlando Avenue in [[Maitland, FL|Maitland]]. The gift shop in the opening montage is on [[International Drive]] in Orlando. At another point in the opening montage, Ben and Junior get donuts from [[Randy's Donuts]] in [[Inglewood, California]]. The scenes for their house were filmed at 1216 Lancaster Drive in Orlando. When they are leaving Cold River at the beginning, they are driving down Atlanta Avenue in Orlando. All of the "Mortville Elementary School" scenes were filmed at Orlando's [[Orange County Public Schools#Schools|Kaley Elementary School]]. Napasorn Thai on East Pine Street in [[Downtown Orlando]] was used for the Dunmore Bank, as evidenced by the restaurant's unique inlaid corner windows visible in the scene. Orlando's [[Harry P. Leu Gardens]] was used as the "Love Rock" backdrop for the wedding scene. The [[Hyatt Regency Orlando]] was used as the "Saint Pierre Club" backdrop for Ben and Debbie's date scene.

In 2014, during an interview on Gottfried's ''Amazing Colossal Podcast'', screenwriters Alexander and Karaszewski revealed that the studio was reluctant to rehire them, only doing so because they wanted to shoot a sequel before Michael Oliver could noticeably grow and, as the writers of the first film, could produce a script quicker than writers new to the story and characters.<ref name=":0" />

Frustrated with the criticisms of the first film, they deliberately increased the poor taste, intending to make a [[Pier Paolo Pasolini|Pasolini]] or [[John Waters]] film for children, and went so far overboard that the first cut received an R rating from the [[Motion Picture Association of America|MPAA]], a secret kept until their 2014 appearance on the podcast. Dubbing over Junior's use of the term "pussy-whipped" got a PG-13 on appeal, but the studio was still so nervous that, at the last minute, they added the 1947 [[Woody Woodpecker]] cartoon ''[[Smoked Hams]]'' to its theatrical run, to reassure parents that it was suitable for children.<ref name=":0">{{cite podcast |url= https://www.gilbertpodcast.com/30-30-scott-alexander-larry-karaszewski/ |title= 30.
