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. See more...

Revealing: Max and Agent 23 are fighting in the car scene near the end of the film, and Max is hanging out of the car door. In some of the shots from Agent 23's POV, you can see that it is a stuntman instead of Steve Carell hanging out the car door.

Continuity: Towards the end of the film, Max and Agent 99 are in various different dramatic scenes in an industrial area, thus dirtying their clothes. However, on their way to Disney Hall afterwards, their clothing is in a clean, spotless condition.

Factual error: When Max falls from the plane without his parachute it takes 99 over 30 seconds to make her jump (actually much longer because the scene was cut several times during her preparation to jump), yet she catches up to him in a few seconds. In actuality it would have been impossible for her to catch up to him. In the time it took for her to jump a commercial airliner would have traveled well over 5 miles. A previous corrector proposed that it would have been possible because Smart would continue moving in the direction of the aircraft after exiting it. Not true; a skydiver's lateral velocity drops to zero within a few seconds because of wind resistance. Also, Smart would have dropped well over 1600 meters in the time that it took 99 to jump. At the steepest decent angle and maximum velocity possible 99 could not make up the distance (sorry to mix standard and metric units here; I've researched this information on multiple skydiving websites).

Revealing: Obvious digital flames on the exterior shots of the SUV when it is on fire.

Continuity: The skydiving sequence between Smart, 99 and Dalip is a mess of continuity errors; obviously the product of multiple takes/jumps. It begins over fields with no clouds below them, then on each subsequent shift in camera angles the area below them is either completely cloudy or clear. Then they fall through the clouds (which were not there originally). After coming through the bottom of the clouds the scene continues to shift between them falling to a cloudless background and a cloudy one.

Revealing: When Maxwell drives the red Sunbeam Tiger out of CONTROL's foyer, you can see the added skid pan underneath the car to protect it as it jumps down the steps.
