details

• The motor-carriage that is seen outside the skating rink and later on the street by the flower shop, has current bicycle type tires (metal rims and spokes), most vehicles of the time had wooden rims and spokes, lined with rubber.
  
  
• In the opening scene, the contents of the blackboard change between shots.
  
  
• At the climax of the movie when Alexander is fighting with Uber-Morlok, the blood on his face comes and goes.
  
  

• When Alexander and Emma are being robbed in the park, She is shot and falls to the ground, her hat falls off very near to her head and slightly to the left. In the next shot, the hat is on the right hand side and far away from her body.
  
  
• It is impossible for the moon to remain in scattered fragments after such a long time as 800,000 years. By that time, gravity would have caused the fragments to fall back together into one contiguous moon or to form a ring around the Earth.
  
  
• When Alexander is unconscious traveling into the future, the dials on the time machine seem to be spinning at a rate of around one million years per second. He would have far surpassed the year 802,701.
  
  
• When Alexander arrives on the date of May 24th, 2030, he is seen watching the "Future is now" on a large screen. When he unravels the rope that lets the "step-down" stairs down, a man in a white shirt and blue jeans can be seen slightly behind the time machine for a brief second, then he vanishes back under the machine when Alexander is walking toward the screen.
  
  
• Actress Myndy Crist, who is the friendly New Yorker who thinks Alexander Hartdegen's Time Machine is a Cappuccino maker, is listed in the movie credits as "Jogger", but in the entire scene she is walking or unlocking and riding a bicycle, thus her credit should be "Bicyclist", since she isn't Jogging anywhere in the film.
  
  

• SPOILER: When Alexander first meets the head Morlock and gets strangled by him, you can easily see Jeremy Irons' fake fingernails coming loose and revealing his real ones. Also during the fight scene, in several different places you can see where the white make-up on Jeremy Irons' face ends and his un-make-upped face begins, usually around or behind the ears.
