    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The first movie filmed in the Smithsonian Institution.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 6 mins) The Egyptians did not have any concept of PI until over 800 years after the pyramids were built and when they did their calculation was (incorrectly) 3.16. The reason why PI seems to pop up in certain ratios of measurements of the pyramids is most likely because they could have used wheels as measuring devices.
    • Quotes
      • Kah Mun Rah: [Darth Vader holds his hand up with a pinching motion] What is that? What is that? What does it mean? I don't know... you've lost me. Is that your breathing? Because I can't hear myself think.
      • [pause]
      • Kah Mun Rah: Let me tell you kindly, just simplify. There's too much going on! You're not evil, you're asthmatic, and what's with the cape? Are we going to the opera? I don't think so. Goodbye!
      • [Darth Vader and Oscar the Grouch leave]
    • Crazy credits
      There is an extra scene during the credits where the WWII sailor is seen reverse-engineering Larry Daley's cell phone. His off-screen mother calls him to dinner and testily calls him by his full name, Joey Motorola.
    • Alternate versions
      Additional humour was brought to the German version by the Albert Einstein dub by Jean Pütz, a famous science journalist and TV host.
