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"? Because if you are, then we're on the same page.
In the plane's bathroom, Max shoots himself several times with the mini-crossbow: in the cheek, ear, etc. After landing on the ground, all traces of the dart punctures are gone. See more...
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. See more...

When Max is 'captured' by Sigfreid and they are watching Agent 99 on the video feed, Max says something like, "Mrs. Spalkis must be lost," as well as making several other obvious references to the fact that he has been caught. Agent 99 can hear every word he says, and yet she doesn't even react to Max's suspicious quotes until he says, "99, we've been compromised." [What's the problem?, 99 simply don't understand Max. It's a character mistake.]
Is Maxwell Smart married or not? Several times during the film, he has a wedding band on his left hand, then it's gone, and in another scene it's there, then disappears. [Max is wearing the ring as part of his cover-up story that he and 99 are on their honeymoon. He takes it off when their plan goes astray.]

When Smart is bashing Shtarker's head against the optical scanner to break out of the bakery, watch the scanner carefully. Although it's supposed to be made of hard plastic or metal, whenever Shtarker's head hits it, the scanner flexes inward then pops right back out with each successive blow. Obviously a movie prop; thin film covering foam rubber to keep the actor's face from getting injured. [Yes, it does, but how do we know what the scanner is supposed to be made out of? If we knew that, we would know how the technology of KAOS worked. Perhaps the scanner worked better with softer material, or KAOS got complains of people bonking their heads on the scanner; the fact is, we don't know what the scanner is supposed to be made out of.]
When Max and Agent 99 jump out of the plane, they are falling for much longer than they would be in real life. (Proved by the free-falling episode of Mythbusters). [Untrue. In the episode of MYTHBUSTERS mentioned, they proved that a specific scenario at a certain height in a certain plane from a certain movie was impossible. It was not a general debunking. We don't know how high the plane was in the air (in this movie) so we can't say how long falling from it would take.]
