Get Smart (2008)

Corrected entry: In the highway chase scene, the banner reads "Suicide Hotline, 1-800-O-DON'T-DO-IT!" In reality this number would have been invalid because it contains 12 digits rather than the 10 digits permitted by the FCC (not including the 1 or 0 in most long distance and 1-800 numbers).

Correction: Many businesses offer a mnemonic that's a couple of letters longer than 10 characters for their number, especially if the smaller one would make no sense (1-800-O-DON'T-DO?). The extra 2 numbers will simply beep in the caller's phone and not affect the call.
