Trivia
The first movie ever filmed in the Smithsonian Institution.

Octavius's line, "Stay alive! I will find you!" before jumping off the windowsill is a reference to Daniel Day-Lewis line in The Last of the Mohicans (1992) where Lewis's character says the same thing before jumping off a cliff.

Near the end of the movie, Larry and Jed notice that Amelia Earhart has flown off in the wrong direction. Later, when Larry meets the human lookalike, she asks for help getting to the miniature room because she gets lost. This is a reference to Earhart's last known flight where she disappeared, not having any idea where she and her navigator were at.

As Larry is walking towards the Smithsonian Castle, you see his cell phone on his belt. As he is walking by the Al Capone exhibit near the entrance, his cell phone is gone. Then, as he approaches the Kahmunrah gate, his cell phone is back on his belt.

When the giant octopus jumps into the reflecting pond in front of the Abraham Lincoln Memorial, it shows him jumping into a pool deep enough that he has to float up a bit to have most of his body above the surface. In fact, the pool is only 30 inches deep at the very center of the pool.

Larry calls Able and Dexter "proud Capuchins." Although Dexter is a Capuchin monkey, Able is a Rhesus monkey. (However, Larry is not a monkey expert.)
