Trivia: Directors were very happy that Omar Sharif accepted the role of British agent, so they invited him to a dinner after he completed his scenes. Sharif accepted the invitation, and a very special dinner was prepared for him. But he didn’t show up, and soon it was found out he already left England. When he was later asked why he didn’t come, he replied, “It’s a tradition in my culture not to ‘refuse’ any offer. Example: someone offers you a drink, you should accept it even though you won’t drink it.” Unaware, ZAZ enjoyed a very expensive dinner, all by themselves.
Goofs: Continuity: When Nick enters the first vent in his jail cell, the crowbar he used to open the vent is swinging in its rack. In the next shot, the crowbar is perfectly still.
“This time Zucker and Abrams are spoofing, most notably, Elvis films and WWII spy movies. Val Kilmer stars as Nick Rivers, a handsome American 50s-style rock and roll singer. While performing in East Germany, he falls in love with a beautiful heroine and becomes involved with the French Resistance. Written by <jgp3553@excite.com>”
