Directed by: Rick Friedberg
Starring: Leslie Nielsen, Charles Durning, Marcia Gay Harden, Nicollette Sheridan
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)
Factual error: When WD-40 is at the restaurant, the waiter starts talking about himself. He tells the agent he drives a 1969 Ford Pinto, but the Pinto wasn't introduced until 1971.
Coleman: Good God! He must be stopped.
General Rancor: Dick Steele couldn't stop me fifteen years ago, and all the Dicks you got won't stop me now.
Coleman: Well, apparently he hasn't, uh, seen the size of some of our newer members.
Trivia: The church that Dick follows the henchman into is called, Our Lady Who Never Had The Pickle. This was originally going to be the name of the hospital that Nordberg was taken to in the movie The Naked Gun.
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?

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.
