Trivia
The Artifacts in the Library are: Tesla's Death Ray, The Holy Grail, Little Boy (atomic bomb), The Ark of the Covenant, The Golden Fleece, King Midas, Excalibur, the Goose that laid the golden egg, Pandora's Box, the real Mona Lisa (a copy is in the Louvre), a Unicorn, the Rocketeer's Jetpack, Ali Baba's Flying Carpet, and the Spear of Longinus (Spear of Destiny).

Goofs
When stuck in the Mayan "death chamber", Flynn says that the Mayan pyramid that they are in is an exact replica of Teotihuacan. There are multiple pyramids at Teotihuacan and that site is Aztec, not Mayan. The architecture is quite different.

Quotes
Flynn Carsen: [about to go on his epic quest to save the world] The fate of the world is in my hands? That's so... sad.

Alternate versions
In addition to the 92' version, there is a 105' version (available as of 2022 in certain streaming platforms) which has extended scenes such as Flynn's first walk through the artifacts in the Library or Nicole and Flynn at the hotel in Mongolia, or added scenes such as the flight from Shangri-La in the Helicopter.

MaYbE I'm just a NeRd

I personally loved this movie, It was fun. Finally a movie where the smart guy/nerd is glorified and isn't the villain. It had hilarious moments and I guess I'm just weird that I like it so much. I mean, people take it way too seriously, People, ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS! It's just a good adventure and the characters are fun and funny. The jokes are laughable, as they are supposed to be, unlike in so many movies I've seen where the jokes are unbelievably corny. Obviously, these people know what they're doing.(referring to directors and screenplay writers, et...) I loved the main character, Flynn, he was a riot, and so was very lovable. There were many parts of this movie that I loved and will always love. Anyway like I said, maybe I'm just a nerd.
