National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007)
Directed by: Jon Turteltaub
Starring: Diane Kruger, Ed Harris, Harvey Keitel, Helen Mirren, Jon Voight, Justin Bartha, Nicolas Cage
Continuity mistake: At the end of National Treasure 1, Riley has a Ferrari 360 Spider. At the beginning of Book of Secrets, when his car is being towed away, it's a Ferrari F430 Spider. At the end of the movie, he is given back a 360 Spider.
Factual error: Ben, Abigail and Riley arrive at the Library of Congress to take the President's Book very late at night. However the Library of Congress, despite being shown as open, consistently closes at 5 PM.
Darius AngelRiley: We've broken into Buckingham Palace, stolen a page from the President's super secret book, and actually kidnapped the president of the United States. What are we going to do next, shortsheet the Pope's bed?
Ben: Well, you never know.
Patrick Gates: She fell in love with me on a treasure hunt!
Emily Appleton: That was not love. That was exitement, adrenaline, and tequila.
Question: How does finding the treasure clear Thomas Gates of plotting Lincoln's death?
BlibbetyblipQuestion: Why does the president ask Ben to look for the page 47 of the book for him if he, as president, has access to the entire book?
Answer: He asks him to investigate what's on page 47, not to just read the page.
Grumpy ScotQuestion: Why was the playfair cipher on the missing page invisible? Thomas Gates wrote it in normal ink.
BlibbetyblipChosen answer: Thomas Gates didn't write it in normal ink. He wrote in pencil. The cipher wasn't written on that page, it was written on the facing page and minute bits "transferred" onto the page with the names.

Chosen answer: Because it verifies the story that the Gates family has passed down, that the pages were burned to protect the city of gold's location, not to hide his name as a plotter.
