Dies und das:

At Mark Van Meter's funeral, the minister says that Van Meter (a spy) was a success in the greeting card industry. In "Get Smart" (1965), Maxwell Smart was a spy whose cover was that he worked for a greeting card company.

Pannen:

Filmfehler: After the computer monitors are shot at, you can clearly see text still showing on the broken pieces of screen. This is impossible, and are clearly dummy props.

Dialogzitate:

Mr. Van Meter: You mean you're a civilian? You don't know anything about this, do you?
Terry Doolittle: I don't know DICK about this! Except some guy calling himself "Jumpin' Jack Flash" taps into my computer! Tells me I gotta go to his house and get a frying pan! To call Van Halen... Van Morrison...
Mr. Van Meter: Van Meter.
Terry Doolittle: ...Van Meter!

No Need to Jump Over this Flash *1/2

Poorly scripted film where heroine Whoopi Goldberg works diligently on her computer at a bank only to get involved with spies when her computer connects with them.

Carol Kane is totally wasted in a small role as an office worker. Miss Kane, who has the ability to be hilarious with that foolish Brooklyn accent, would have been far better had she been allowed to appear in the caper scenes. As for Stephen Collins, he appears in so many important scenes that it's just a simple matter to figure out if he is with the good guys or bad guys.

The scenes where Goldberg's dress is caught in a shredding machine and where she is locked inside a moving telephone booth could have been hilarious but end too quickly. Another scene at the British embassy is also wasted.

This apparent spoof of spy movies just doesn't cut it.
