Plot hole: When Fitz-Hume and Millbarge disguise themselves as aliens in order to distract the mobile launcher crew, where exactly did they get the foil they are wearing? Except for the satellite dish Millbarge wears on his head, no parts of their code transmitter can have been used or the thing would be of no further use, and it is very unlikely that either of the two spy groups brought any of the foil along.
Spies Like Us (1985)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Frank Oz, John Landis
Starring: Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Bruce Davison, William Prince, Donna Dixon, Steve Forrest, Mark Stewart, Sean Daniel
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: After the grenade sets off the box of grenades, and the subsequent explosions demolish the building, Millbarge says "I'll get the horse." Trouble is, throughout all of the gunfire and the explosions, there is no sign of the horse; it would have run off somewhere. When he gets the horse, it's tied up right next to the now demolished building. It would have been killed by the gunfire and/or the explosions.
Emmett Fitz-Hume: What did she say?
Austin Millbarge: She wants to know why we'd do such a thing.
Emmett Fitz-Hume: Tell her so do we.
Trivia: Bob Hope has a cameo which lasts about 20 seconds. During the nearly endless doctor scene, Hope takes a golf swing through the tent. This movie is an homage to the series of seven "Road to" movies which starred Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. This cameo is Hope's last for the big screen.
Question: Why do both Dan Akroyd and Chevy Chase get in trouble for cheating on the exam (since Chevy is quite obviously the only one cheating)?
