Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was Arnold Schwarzenegger's last movie before being elected Governor of California.
- GoofsOn the paddle-ship on the Atlantic, the paddles are turning and some of the sails are also unfurled. However, if the wind was having any effect it would have to be going faster than the ship. In that case the smoke from the smokestack should be blown forward, in the direction of travel. In fact it is shown going sideways or even backwards; this implies that the sails are actually causing a drag on the ship, slowing it down.
- Quotes
Monique La Roche: Where's your proof?
Lord Kelvin: This is the Royal Academy of Science! We don't have to prove anything!
- Alternate versionsSome commercial television prints cut out the Arnold Schwarzenegger cameo sequence.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Troldspejlet: Episode #31.2 (2004)

Featured review
Don't expect too much
I watched this film because I walked past the set in Berlin where the ending scene was filmed.
It was the first time I stumbled on a Hollywood film set, and I was excited to see the end result.
Though the film did make me laugh out loud at times, I was disappointed by this film. It concentrated too much on the comical mishaps along the journey. It made too little mention of how they travel from one place to another. It became a collection of funny clips shot in various places that are put together.
I was surprised by the number of big stars playing small parts: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rob Schneider, Luke Wilson and Owen Wilson. Even Richard Branson was in it, which was a big little surprise.
This film is a nice film for the family. Don't expect too much though.
