Factual error: After some tinkering with a TV set and a mirror, Calvin Webber finds that he can watch a TV show in reverse image. On the screen is the opening of "The Honeymooners" showing the cast members' names superimposed on a picture of the moon, with Jackie Gleason's face. But the picture is in color, mostly blue and off-white, while the actual "Honeymooners" series was filmed in black-and-white.
Blast from the Past (1999)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Hugh Wilson
Starring: Christopher Walken, Brendan Fraser, Sissy Spacek, Alicia Silverstone
Continuity mistake: When Calvin first goes back up to the surface, he encounters the bartender. The bartender is shown as himself moving at first then he freezes while Calvin's light is on him. Again it shows the bartender but you can tell if you look close enough he is just a piece of cardboard falling to the ground. Then Calvin tells the bartender to leave his elevator alone. (00:27:03)

Answer: Haben Sie etwas in diesem, Lehrer? Do you have something (of yours) inside it (my luggage), teacher? Kind of. Why (else) are you concerned about my luggage? This too makes some sense (of humour, sarcasm, or something...) Maybe. I don't know.
