Trivia

The "German" that Nick learns in the train is not a language at all. Words like "Vlichtmitten", "Blitzen" or "Flachmatuche" are great fun for German listeners, but have no proper meaning. In the German-dubbed version, Val Kilmer learns a German dialect mainly spoken in the former GDR. The word blitzen is German for lightning. In the group of Santa's reindeer, donner and blitzen are German for thunder and lightning. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: When Hillary is riding the motorcycle to get Nick at the lake(long shot as she is driving down the road), you can see the helmet strap going down the side of her chin to hold on the messed up "hair". See more »

Quotes

Du Quois: Nick, whether you make it back or not, that plane must take off with Dr. Flammond at 1800 hours.
Deja Vu: That's why we recommend you be there at least 45 minutes before departure, especially at this time of year.
