Jingle All the Way

Howard (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is mistaken for the turbo man guy. He gets to pick which kid gets a free Turbo man action figure so he picks his son. The mail guy tries to steal it but he doesn't really get to. Jamie gives the Turboman to him as the mail guy is off to jail and Everyone is happy.

Factual error: We see Jamie at his karate graduation as a yellow belt. In the scene where his dad apologizes for missing it, he picks up Jamie's new belt, which is purple. Although the order of belt ranks varies by discipline and by dojo, it is highly unlikely that any sensei would have yellow belt (which is almost always the second level) followed by purple (sometimes as low as the fourth ranking, but more often up to the seventh or eighth rank).

Trivia: The diner Howard goes into after pushing his car is Mickey's Diner in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. The same diner was used in The Mighty Ducks, also shot in Minnesota. In this film however, the interior is a set. The interior of the real Mickey's Diner is not as spacious as shown in the film.
