Plot hole: When Fitz-Hume and Millbarge disguise themselves as aliens in order to distract the mobile launcher crew, where exactly did they get the foil they are wearing? Except for the satellite dish Millbarge wears on his head, no parts of their code transmitter can have been used or the thing would be of no further use, and it is very unlikely that either of the two spy groups brought any of the foil along.
Spies Like Us (1985)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Frank Oz, John Landis
Starring: Bruce Davison, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Donna Dixon, Mark Stewart, Sean Daniel, Steve Forrest, William Prince
Genres: Comedy
Other mistake: When Chevy chase is being filmed cheating on the exam, all the video cameras are on the sidewalls near the roof. But later when they view the footage, the last shot of Chevy copying the answers is from the floor level where no camera was seen in any previous shots. Also what was a floor level camera going to film anyway...everyone's feet?
Austin Millbarge: They're Afghani freedom fighters! They're on our side! WE'RE americans.
Trivia: Another notable cameo appearance is made by the special effects legend Ray Harryhausen in the role of Dr. Marston.
Question: Why do both Dan Akroyd and Chevy Chase get in trouble for cheating on the exam (since Chevy is quite obviously the only one cheating)?
