Revealing mistake: When Millbarge changes the missile's programming at the last instant, the rocket changes course simply by rotating the shooting frame - and even if it could change course like that, the angle of ascension would be wider than indicated on the bunker base's computer screen.
Spies Like Us (1985)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Frank Oz, John Landis
Starring: Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Bruce Davison, William Prince, Donna Dixon, Steve Forrest, Mark Stewart, Sean Daniel
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?
Emmett Fitz-Hume: What did she say?
Austin Millbarge: She wants to know why we'd do such a thing.
Emmett Fitz-Hume: Tell her so do we.
Trivia: Another notable cameo appearance is made by the special effects legend Ray Harryhausen in the role of Dr. Marston.
Question: Does anybody else remember at the end when they're playing Trivial Pursuit and the Russians get it wrong, the girl tipped it over and says, "You lose, we get the Ukraine"? I saw it the other day, and it said, "You lose, we get Eastern Europe." Why/when was the change made?
