Directed by: Steven Lisberger
Starring: Billy Crystal, Harry Shearer, Gilda Radner, Michael Fremer
Deliberate mistake: The 100-meter 'dash' goes over a longer distance and lasts longer than shown in the movie.
Deliberate mistake: When Kurt Wuffner makes his downhill run, he temporarily slides down a vertical and then inward-going slope. I know it was made for humor, but at these extreme angles, neither trees nor snow could latch onto the surface in the first place.
Other mistake: When Kit Mambo prepares to catch up with Renè Fromage, she first overtakes two guys (the raccoon and the bighorn sheep) on 'third and fourth positions' - as announced by Barbara Warbler, then she passes the sheep and the camel before she catches up with Renè. This would place her first competitors on positions five and four, instead of three and four.
Singer: With you I can run forever... with you I can run forever.
Trivia: The black-and-white clip of the movie Bjorn Freeborg is supposed to play in originates from the Swedish movie 'The Seventh Seal' (Sjunde inseglet; 1957), where Death (Bengt Ekerot) and the Knight (Max von Sydow) play chess for the Knight's life. The movie was directed by Ingmar Bergmann, who is here aptly renamed 'Ingmar Birdman'.
