 It Runs in the Family (1994)
comment
A 1994 sequel to the classic A Christmas Story. Director Bob Clark returned, but the cast was entirely different (save for Tedde Moore, who returns as Miss Shields). Jean Shepherd, whose autobiographical stories provided the basis for both movies, narrates, as he had for A Christmas Story. Kieran Culkin stars as Ralphie Parker, along with Charles Grodin and Mary Steenburgen as his parents.This was Charles Grodin's final film role for more than 15 years, until he returned in The Ex.Also known as My Summer Story. Not to be confused with the 2003 dramedy film of the same name starring Michael Douglas, Kirk Douglas, and their family.

Super-Strength: Big Dicky, of the redneck gang that makes a conflict with the Old Man, can tear the porch right off of a house.

Obfuscating Disability: While out driving, the Parkers find themselves stranded in traffic with a police officer directing. The Old Man, impatient to reach their destination, attempts to sneak by. Being in a gigantic '37 Oldsmobile, they are imediately spotted and stopped and The Old Man frustratedly shouts "Son of a bitch!" which the officer assumes was directed at him. When the irate officer attempts to give him an earful, The Old Man pretends to be deaf, repeatedly asking "I beg your pardon, sir?"

comment
Barbaric Bully: Averted. The new bully, Lug, uses tops to attain dominance, rather than physical violence (though he's still labelled the worst bully at Warren G. Harding Elementary by Adult Ralphie). It's likely that he learned from the Scut Farkus affair that marks who are roughed up can quickly turn the tables. Speaking of whom, Scut Farkus, after the incident, was demoted to "bully, second class", and now he and Grover Dill have become Lug's long-suffering toadies (in the original story, Scut was the top-wielding bully and Lug is nowhere to be seen, but then, the original bully that Ralphie beat up was Grover Dill, since Scut had yet to appear in that tale).
