Corrected entry: The timer in one of the scenes is different from the time the announcer says it is.
Spy Hard (1996)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Rick Friedberg
Starring: Leslie Nielsen, Charles Durning, Marcia Gay Harden, Nicollette Sheridan
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.
Trivia: When Dick Steele rides the horse into the elevator, the two people already in the elevator are Loren Janes and his wife Ginger. They both appeared in the movie "True Lies" which is parodying the scene portraying the same couple in the same situation. Loren Janes even provided the stunts for this movie too.
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.

Correction: This is a Leslie Nielsen movie. These sort of intentional, visual "disconnects" exist throught the entire movie. There are numerous instances where what is being said does not match with what we see in the background. It is a trade mark of the slapstick comedy Leslie Nielsen and his movies are well known for.
