Audio problem: In the beginning, the agent from the agent goes up to the door, and knocks four times in a normal rhythm, but you hear three knocks, a pause, then the fourth knock out of time with the action. (00:04:55)
Spies Like Us (1985)
1 audio problem

Starring: Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Bruce Davison, William Prince, Donna Dixon, Steve Forrest, Mark Stewart, Sean Daniel
Genres: Comedy
Other mistake: When Chevy chase is being filmed cheating on the exam, all the video cameras are on the sidewalls near the roof. But later when they view the footage, the last shot of Chevy copying the answers is from the floor level where no camera was seen in any previous shots. Also what was a floor level camera going to film anyway...everyone's feet?
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: When Dan Aykroyd speaks to the Russian agents, the Russian phrase he says "Menshe ty znayesh, luchshe" translates to "The less you know, the better."
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)?
