Visible crew/equipment: When Larry and Rebecca (in her red coat) are outside the museum and she is giving him information about the exhibits, there is a boom mike visible in the top part of the screen for a brief moment after they cross the street. (00:47:30)
Night at the Museum (2006)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Shawn Levy
Starring: Ben Stiller, Carla Gugino, Ricky Gervais, Mickey Rooney, Dick Van Dyke
Plot hole: Christopher Columbus speaks Italian while the Huns supposedly speak their native language. Shouldn't Octavius and his Romans speak Latin? (00:34:50)
Larry: This is so not worth $11.50 an hour.
Trivia: The film was originally intended to be directed by Stephen Sommers, who is best known for directing 1999's "The Mummy." Sommers left the project following creative differences with the studio. Sommers poked fun at the film years later in a commentary track in 2018, noting that he saw a movie once where a character was constantly and annoying using a flashlight even though it was bright enough he wouldn't need one. Sommers wouldn't name the film, but slyly said "it took place at night in a museum."
Question: How did Larry find out that "Dakota" was the word for making the horses stop the carriage?
