Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry After Dr. Flammond has been bailed out, a patrol car attacks the Resistance members. Chocolate Mousse fires at it and blows a tyre out but, after the whole crew has climbed aboard (without changing the tire first), the car moves off at full speed with the only wobbles in its drive being conditioned by the rough terrain. [The car was also blown up in a huge fireball but escapes virtually unscathed. It's a joke, part of the film - they even point out that the indestructible car is due to the fact that 'The Germans make such great cars!']
Entry Much of the German in the film is actually Yiddish, a type of German dialect spoken primarily by Ashkenazic Jews. [All the German I heard sounded like regular German.]
Entry Immediately after the underwater fight scene, Hillary stops the bike to watch Nick exit the water. He shakes his wet head, camera switches to Hillary, back to Nick, and his hair and clothes are quite dry. [That's exactly the point. They filmed Val Kilmer walking backwards into the lake and printed it in reverse to show him emerging bone dry and perfectly groomed from a vicious fight - it's a send up of films that show movie heroes able to do just that.]
Entry During the scene in the cafe when Nick convinces everyone he is not Mel Torme, everyone is dancing along with him. It's obvious during one of the shots the men dancing on tables are swinging 'dummies' instead of real women. [This is a deliberate part of the film, to make it look ridiculous.]
