Night at the Museum

When Larry sets Jed and Octavius down on the bench, they are closer together in the next shot.

When Larry notices the caveman's footprints leading to the open window and goes to investigate, the footprints are gone in the next shot.

Cecil shuts the bottom half of the security office door when Larry enters.

When Larry leaves the office, the door is open.

When his ex-wife raises her glass of water to drink in an early scene, in the next shot her glass is back down.

The epaulets on Larry's normal jacket disappear and reappear between shots The amount of fire extinguisher foam on Larry's face changes frequently.

When Larry and Rebecca were talking outside, you can clearly see a mike drop down in the shot, bob up and down and then taken out of the shot.

At the end with career day at school the mike appears again.

The cut on Larry's lip changes places in one scene near the end of the movie.

When Larry is trying to convince Rebecca that the museum comes to life at night, a crew member is visible behind her.

When Larry is trying to convince Rebecca that the exhibits at the museum come to life at night, they stop to talk directly in front of the Neanderthal exhibit, but when Rebecca walks away, they are next to 'Theodore Roosevelt' (qv).

In the scene where Larry is telling Rebecca that the museum comes to life, she has no coat on.

But right as she is leaving she has a coat on.

She is still wearing it when she gets outside.

When Dexter tries to steal the keys for the second time and ends up with plastic toy keys, Larry puts the real keys in his shirt pocket.

In the very next shot they are back hanging on his pants.

In the miniature people scene, after Larry breaks free from his upper body restraints, the roping around his ankles is still in place.

In the shot just before the Romans attack him with fire balls, the ropes are shown around his ankles, still in place.

However, after the Romans begin to attack him, Larry is able to get up and run away with ease- there is no shown attempt to break the restraints around his ankles.

Larry drops his flashlight when he sees the T-Rex at the drinking fountain, but has it later even after quickly fleeing the charging dinosaur.

In the scene with Octavius and Jed coming back to the museum after they were presumed dead, you can see the reflection of the green screen in Octavius' helmet.

When Larry is 'tied' to the railway tracks, the tracks to his left appear complete and incomplete between shots.

When the night guards meet Larry while clocking out for the last time, Larry isn't wearing a necktie, but when he turns around to greet Cecil, it suddenly appears.

In the closing sequence when the museum characters are dancing and playing soccer, the cavemen are still marveling at fire, making noises, you can obviously see one of them has a filling - something neither a wax figure or a genuine caveman would have.

When Attila the Hun sticks his head between the elevator doors, the mechanism of the elevator would force the doors to open, rather than continue to close.

In the scene where the Mayans attack Larry by shooting poison darts at him, the darts leave two very large welts on his face that also appears to have caused him to lose feeling there as well.

But as the camera scene cuts to him trying to defend himself from a second, larger attack the welts are gone from his face and he takes about a dozen darts in his hand, this time with no apparent affect.

In closeup, 'Theodore Roosevelt' (qv) and Sacajawea are on horseback at the dance; however, in the wide shots, they are dancing in the foreground.

After Cecil scares Larry with the voodoo attire, Cecil removes the headpiece and his hair is messy.

A second later without a break in conversation, Cecil's hair is neatly groomed.

When Larry and Nick are in Central Park at the beginning of the movie, the building with two towers is visible behind Larry.

When they turn to leave the park, the building is still behind Larry.

However, in the immediate scene following, the same building is now in front of Nick and Larry.

Anything relating to what the magically-enlivened museum pieces can or cannot do.

Since they are fantasy beings, they can do whatever the writers say they can do, even when the logic appears contradictory.

The day after Larry's first night, Rebecca tells a children's tour that the lion is the "king of the jungle".

The lion lives in plains and open grassland, and is unsuited for either hunting or concealing itself in jungle or forest.

It's true appellation is "king of beasts".

The Hall of African Mammals includes both Dexter the Capuchin monkey (from South America) which is a mammal but not African, and an ostrich (bird) which is African but not a mammal.

The correcting spelling and pronunciation of the name Sakagawea/Sacagawea/Sacajawea are unknown, hence the wide variety used in this movie.

The Roman troops shoot flaming arrows at Larry, but his clothes show no burn marks.

The tablet was supposed to be made out of 24k gold (100%).

But the weight of pure gold is 19.

3 kg/liter, and Larry's son wouldn't be able to carry the tablet as easy as he does.

Sacagawea wasn't a tracker, she was only a guide and translator.

Her husband, Charbonneau, was the tracker on the Lewis and Clark expedition.

Near the end when Doctor McPhee is flipping through the TV news, it shows a local Fox station broadcast with a logo from Washington D.

, not New York City.

Larry refers to the Neanderthals as the first people to build fires.

In fact, Homo erectus achieved this before the Neanderthals.

The "Museum of Natural History" has exhibits of modern historical figures and events.

Attila the Hun's statue is of average height.

The real man was very short.

The most famous Jedediah Smith was a fur trader, hunter and explorer, not a cowboy and railroad-builder--he died just as railroads were being invented.

But the name was probably common enough in the 19th century that many men were named Jedidiah Smith.

The movie's "Jedidiah" is a representative period figure, not a depiction of a historic person.

It's also possible that the toy-come-to-life heard the name and liked it, and so chose it for himself.

When Cecil hands Larry his "torch" on his first night, he hands it to him lens side down, when Larry takes it it is lens side up (flipped).

Rebecca mispronounces "capuchin"; she says [ka pu' shin] but the correct pronunciation is [cap' u shin].

Dexter the Capuchin monkey "speaks" like a chimpanzee.

'Theodore Roosevelt' (qv) was known to have a high-pitched, squeaky voice due to being a severe asthmatic.

However, as was later established, he was only a wax figurine of Roosevelt, made to appear very heroic, so it's not unreasonable that he'd have a deeper, more resonant voice, not unlike 'Robin Williams (I)' (qv).

This film is so terribly awful. It's got some legendary actors.

Night at the Museum (2006): Dir: Shawn Levy / Cast: Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Carla Gugino, Owen Wilson, Steve Coogan: Embarrassing mess that plays like a chemistry experiment gone wrong. It regards facing fears as if viewing the film wasn't a big enough task.

Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) is an unemployed divorced father of Nick. He is a complete loser and feels he's losing his son.

It is where the past comes to life. As Ben Stiller, whom really is a great actor and comedian then most people do not credit.

It's better than the last two that followed. Makes you want to go to a real museum, although as of this review, they are all closed due to the virus.

This is one of the rare films that really cheers me up if I am feeling down. It has superb humor, a delightful cast & there is no crudity, bad language or gratuitous sex scenes.

This is well made film. Ricky Gervais is perfect being his snitty self.

Night at the Musuem stars the very funny Ben Stiller in the title role as the museum guard, and Dick Van Dyke in the villain role. The sets are very creative the the monkey is a very funny little character, as well as Owen Wilson.
