Line 30:
** Jedediah, moreso in the first movie.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Larry to an extent, but over the course of both movies, Sacajawea is honestly the most normal of the cast.
* [[Shout
** Octavius and Jedediah at the end of the first movie, to ''[[Independence Day]]''.
*** They do it again at the final battle of ''Smithsonian'', this time to ''[[Three Hundred]]''.
Line 63:
{{quote| '''Jedediah''': ''(After trying to shoot Larry in the eye with his toy gun)'' "Now, you know my shame. Jedediah's impotent rage. His guns don't fire."}}
** [[Shanghai Noon|His salmon don't swim upstream...]]
* [[Hot
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: <s>Mr.</s> [[Insistent Terminology|Doctor]] McPhee really is just a [[Jerkass]], but you can't help but feel for him in the second - and he does seem to be warming up to Larry by the end.
* [[Museum of the Strange And Unusual]]
Line 94:
** In a similar vein, the capuchin kept stealing Larry's keys, somehow teaching Larry enough to steal Brundon's keycard.
* [[Cultural Translation]]: The Italian rendition of the movie is literally riddled with them, often bordering on the [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]:
** While in the original dub Napoleon, upon meeting Amelia and Larry just gives them an [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]] speech, in the Italian rendition Napoleon compares their sexual tension to the many romances he had in life, quipping that he may have sired lots of son who never knew their ancestry. This apparently innocent exchange turns into blatant [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] (given the then currently Italy political situation) when Napoleon describes one of his latest descendants in detail: the potential descendant of an Italian lover, a jolly, funny fellow, short of stature but always overtly cheesy and cheery, [
** <s>Brandon</s> Brundon gets turned on the stereotypical Neapolitan fellow, braggart, slang-spewing and with a deep-set veneration for Maradona.
* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: Al Capone and his men, and also the artistic photograph of 1945 in ''Smithsonian''.
Line 120:
* [[Historical In-Joke]]: The [[WW 2]] sailor who nabs Larry's cellphone is named Joey Motorola. Wait, does this mean the [[Timey-Wimey Ball]] could be in effect?
** If so, its a [[Critical Research Failure]]: Motorola already existed in 1945, and it wasn't named after the founder.
* [[Historical Beauty Update]]: [[Amy Adams]] plays [
* [[Historical Villain Upgrade]]: Ivan the terr... er, the Awesome complains about this in the second movie, just before acting the part for the rest of it.
** Though this is more a case of [[You Fail History Forever]] he was competent early on but after his wife died he basically fell into a state of paranoid schizophrenia killing everyone who he felt vaguely disliked him.
*** He only has to have been a good ruler [[Self
* [[Hollywood History]]: Subverted somewhat with Ivan the Terrible, who points out that a more accurate translation of his nickname would be "the Awesome", and that he was in fact a fairly good ruler.
* [[Homage]]: Larry scouting out the Smithsonian is accompanied by background music from [[National Treasure]]. Note that both movies involve breaking into a national museum.
