* DidNotDoTheResearch: A brief walk through the actual Museum of ''Natural'' History in New York would have revealed to the writers that only subjects from the ''natural'' world are covered, not historical events like the Lewis & Clark expedition or Christopher Columbus.

** [[spoiler:"You're going to ''live''!" (breaks hourglass with helmet)]]
** The bit in the first movie where the two battle the raging gale... of a decompressing tire.
*** This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]], as the camera keeps cutting back to a wider view of the area...and the only indication of this "battle" is the ''very'' soft hiss of air leaving the tire.
*** Done again in the sequel, when Octavius gives a speech about how he's going to storm the White House to get help for Jedediah and begins to epically race towards the building. Cue the camera cutting back so the audience can't even see or hear him.
