Factual error: During CONTROL's paintball training session, a barrel view of a bullet exiting the gun is shown as it travels to its target. However, the entire bullet is shown, casing and all, instead of just the bullet. (00:09:10)
Get Smart (2008)
Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, Alan Arkin, James Caan
Continuity mistake: When Max talks to the bakery clerk, the plate of rolls on the counter moves, depending on the shot. (00:57:20)
Continuity mistake: When Max and 99 are fighting Dalip on top of the bakery, Dalip punches a hole in the wall beside 99's head. When he body slams Max, the hole has disappeared. (01:04:55)
Trivia: At one point in the movie, when the Chief is talking to the President, the President says "nucular weapons" once or twice. Frustrated, the Chief says something to the effect of, "For the last time, it's nuclear." This is an obvious jab at President George W. Bush, who was notorious for invariably saying "nucular" instead of "nuclear" when giving speeches.
Trivia: In the scene in which Max drives the convertible out of the museum, all three cars shown - the red Sunbeam Tiger from the museum, the gold Opel GT driven by Bernie Kopell, and the blue VW Karmann Ghia convertible - were all cars driven by Maxwell Smart in the original series.
Trivia: The original Siegfried, Bernie Kopell, makes a cameo as the driver of the Opel that nearly hits Smart. Unfortunately, other members of the original show were not able to make appearances: Don Adams (Maxwell Smart) - died September 2005. Edward Platt (Chief) - died March 1974. Robert Karvelas (Larrabee) - died December 1991.
Maxwell Smart: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
The Chief: I don't know. Were you thinking "Holy shit, holy shit! A swordfish almost went through my head"? If so, yes.
