A rare comedy sequel that's better and funnier than the first film. It's fun to see how the film incorporates historical facts into the plot and jokes, even if they have to cheat a little.

Factual error: The first Kinetoscope (arcade of 'personal movie viewers') was opened in 1894 and the first motion picture studio was located in New Jersey. There is no way that they would have known enough about motion pictures in 1887 to go into them, let alone go to Hollywood to do so. And the use of the word 'movie' is at least twenty years too early.
