Deliberate mistake: It is totally unlikely that a museum as careful and important as the Smithsonian would leave the crates un-nailed, which could make the pieces inside get damaged. Of course if the crates weren't open, none of the figures could come up to life.
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Shawn Levy
Starring: Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller, Amy Adams, Steve Coogan, Hank Azaria
Revealing mistake: When Amelia and Larry are flying, his hair doesn't move a single inch.
Larry Daley: I'm sorry. Last time I checked, I thought we lived in a free country. So...
Smithsonian Security Guard: No, we don't.
Larry Daley: No?
Smithsonian Security Guard: It's the United States of "Don't Touch That Thing Right in Front of You."
Trivia: Five different actors from the U.S. and U.K. versions of The Office appear in the film: Amy Adams, Ed Helms, Mindy Kaling, Craig Robinson, and Ricky Gervais.
Question: What was the meaning of Larry meeting a woman that looked just like Amelia Earheart? The woman says that she isn't related to Amelia, so I'm confused about why it was done.

Answer: Larry was smitten with the wax figure of Amelia Earhart and when he sees the woman in the museum who looks like Amelia (and who was played by the same actress who portrayed Amelia), his infatuation and attraction were understandable.
