Spy Hard
Spy Hard mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the first sequence, when Victoria Dahl falls from a cliff, several shots show her from above and from the same level as she clings to Dick Steele's hand and starts to fall, then a last shot shows her from below as she wags her arms in an attempt to reach the water safely. In the first shots she is wearing sandals with block heels, whereas in the shot from below she (perhaps a stunt-woman) is wearing flats. (00:03:50 - 00:04:18)

Continuity mistake: When Dick is braking the bus with his feet, lots of sparks come from his shoes. When the shot changes to an outdoor view of the bus, there are no sparks to be seen underneath the bus.

Continuity mistake: Dick removes some lid from the bottom of the bus so he can stick his legs out to reach the road. In the next shot when the bus is flying "Speed"-like there is no hole to be seen.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene near the end of the film, when Steele gets out of a Volkswagen Beetle, as he opens the car door the reflection of the cameraman and some crew members are visible.

Dick Steele, Agent WD-40: You carry a UB-21 Schnauzer with a Gnab silencer. That's KGB. You prefer an H&K over an A.K. Your surveillance technique is NSA. Your ID is CIA. You received your Ph.D. at NYU. Traded in your GTO for a BMV. You listen to CDs by R.E.M. and STP. And you'd like to see J.F.K. in his BVDs, getting down with O.P.P. And you probably put the toilet paper back on the roll with the paper on the inside.

Question: In the wrestling scene, Leslie Nielsen tags Hulk Hogan who ultimately tags another lady in a red dress. The actress appears to be Joyce Brothers. Is her presence a spoof or am I missing something else here?

Neil Jones

Chosen answer: The lady in the red dress is definitely Dr. Joyce Brothers. Her presence is not a spoof of anything. Just another way to add humor to an already humorous movie.
