• Leopold is taken from the year 1876, yet he is familiar with Puccini's "La Boheme" (first performed in 1896), Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance" (first performed in 1879 - and he manages to misremember the plot) and Puccini's "Tosca" (1898). (Theatre) - RoadRunneR

• Leopold is shown listening to Roebling make a speech in April 1876. The famous engineer had actually died a few weeks after the bridge was begun in 1869. (Theatre) - RoadRunneR

• The current 50star US flag can be seen in the background when Stuart is taking pictures "in the past". (Theatre) - RoadRunneR

• When Leopold wakes up in Stuart's apartment, he says Stuart "could be Jack the Ripper for all I know", however since Leopold is from 1876 he couldn't know about Jack the Ripper, who didn't begin his crime spree until the late 1880's. (Theatre) - RoadRunneR

• When Kate is at the party and is announced Senior Vice President, her dress has no lace on it. When she appears in 1876, her dress suddenly has a lace border on the neckline. (Theatre) - RoadRunneR

• When Kate and Leo are having dinner on the roof Kate's dress strap jumps to the side (showing her bra strap) then jumps back in place. (VHS) - mandie

• The scene where J.J. and Kate are at dinner, and Leopold and Charlie join them, J.J. and Leopold are discussing J.J.'s new estate in England and they mention that it is in "Sussex, near Balmoral." Balmoral is one of Queen Elizabeth's estates that is in Scotland, not anywhere near Sussex, which is south of London. - tigerdawg

• Stuart shows Kate pictures of herself at the ball in 1876. Kate doesn't arrive there until Stuart has already left, so how does he have pictures of her there? - lu
  • Maybe someone else took the pictures and gave them to Stuart?

• In the movie, Stuart claims that Leopold invented the elevator. This is total false, since elevators already existed in 1876. In 1853, American inventor (not noble) Elisha G. Otis invented the elevator with safety device which made the elevators safer. Elevators of the time were steam elevators, and hydraulic elevators came around early 1870's, invented by Sir William Armstrong in the 1846. Electric elevator was invented by German inventor Werner Von Siemen in 1880. So, Leopold has nothing to do with inventing elevator. (DVD) - Simboy
