Rat Race (2001)

Trivia: As in "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" (1963), the cast is in a race to be the first to reach a hidden container of cash. The similarities are: 1) The cast is a Who's Who list of well known people. 2) The amount of cash is very similar. When adjusted for inflation, the 1963 amount of $350,000 would equate out to the 2001 amount of $2,003,289.47. This movie's prize was $2,000,000.

Heart of Glory - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: On the freighter, when Geordi looks at Data, the image on the Bridge view screen has Data's hair in an unkempt, or unusual style. When the scene shifts back to the freighter, Data's hair is straight back.

A Christmas Story (1983)

Trivia: Although the Warren G. Harding school was depicted to be within easy walking distance, it was actually in St. Catherines, Ontario. The Parker home exterior was on 11th Street, Cleveland, Ohio. Quite a bit of a walk. Also, the Chop Suey Palace was also in Ontario.
