Corrected entry: Kate's ex-boyfriend has a bad fall down an elevator shaft, because ostensibly time has been altered and Leopold doesn't invent the elevator. But if that's the case, why would the sliding doors to the elevator even be there in the absence of the device they were installed for? He would have just walked into a blank wall.

Kate & Leopold (2001)
Corrected entry: At the end of the movie, when Leopold comes back to the past, he returns to the same day but earlier in time (we see him going upstairs to prepare for the evening party). Shouldn't he have encounted his earlier self, the Leopold who will later chase Stuart and travel to the present, as was shown in the beginning of the movie?
Correction: This movie apparently has different rules for time travel than the Back to the Future movies, in which multiple selves is a common occurance. For the purpose of this movie, there apparently is only one of each of us parading around in different time periods.

Kate & Leopold (2001)
Corrected entry: When all the elevators disappeared, the NY City skyline should have changed also. Surely nobody would build office buildings much higher than 10 stories (the 1890 record) if workers had to walk all the way to the top every day.
Correction: The elevators didn't disappear. Leopold was in jeopardy of not going back in the time, but that fate wasn't 'for sure.' The elevators were not working all over town, just showing how his disappearance from the past could alter the future.

Kate & Leopold (2001)
Corrected entry: Towards the end of the film, when Leopold has already gone back to the past, they show the pictures that Stewart took. Kate is in one of them. But Kate didn't arrive in the past till the point where Leopold is announcing his new wife, and he does this after Stewart left, so there is no way Kate could have been in the picture.
Correction: In the directors cut, you see Kate in the beginning of the film, 'back' in time. She was there the same time Stewart was.

Correction: Because Leo was in danger of not returning, the elevators were malfunctioning. That is why Stuart fell. The elevators did not disappear from existence. (Notice everyone still knew what elevators were, and some in the city did function properly).
