Factual error: During the fight just before Elvis uses the alcohol, Bubba Ho-tep exclaims a series of Egyptian hieroglyphs which are translated as "By the unwinking eye of Ra." The symbol on the far right is not the Eye of Ra (which faces right) but the Eye of Thoth (an identical symbol which faces left). (01:18:10)
Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)
1 factual error
Directed by: Don Coscarelli
Starring: Bruce Campbell, Ossie Davis, Heidi Marnhout, Ella Joyce
Visible crew/equipment: In the bathroom stall scene when Elvis is examining the hieroglyphics, a mic can be seen in the window reflection when the camera shot is looking out of the stall at Jack the old man.
Elvis: Uh, Mr. President... You're on the floor.
JFK: No shit?
Question: When Elvis trades places with Sebastian Haff, his limo plate is AZN-700. Later when he is driving Haff's car, the plate is the same. Obviously two cars with different owners can't have the same plates, so it's probably a reference of some sort. Anyone know if that's the case, and if so, what?

Chosen answer: There's no significance I can find anywhere for the number "AZN-700" - it's just a fake plate they used twice due to the limited budget, and its repeated use is a mistake.
