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
Factual error: When WD-40 is at the restaurant, the waiter starts talking about himself. He tells the agent he drives a 1969 Ford Pinto, but the Pinto wasn't introduced until 1971.
Coleman: Good God! He must be stopped.
General Rancor: Dick Steele couldn't stop me fifteen years ago, and all the Dicks you got won't stop me now.
Coleman: Well, apparently he hasn't, uh, seen the size of some of our newer members.
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.
