- The film is co-directed by the three directors Jim Abrahams , zucknuckle , and Jerry Zucker , who once used " Airplane! " and " Ruthless People " as the masterpieces of the movie . The common feature of the three is that they are used to making jokes with ridiculous film techniques .
- The film is Val Kilmer 's film debut, and the songs in the film are sung by him .
- The wall of the prison scene where Nick was imprisoned in the film has a picture of Cher posted because Val Kilmer, Nick's actor, was in love with Cher when the film was shot.
- The Swedish bookstore scene in the film is inspired by life observation: People who put the tape recorder upside down often think that the English that is upside down sounds like Swedish. Therefore, when shooting the clip, the whole scene was filmed and then replayed so that the dialogue sounds like Swedish, and then it was translated into English subtitles .
- Michel Shalhoub , the actor of Agent Cedric in the film , has never appeared in a comedy before. When the casting director recommended Michel Shalhoub to the three directors including zucknuckle, the directors' reaction was shocked .
- In order to achieve a comedy effect, Michel Shalhoub was treated badly with props during the filming process, but he never complained .
- Towards the end of Michel Shalhoub’s filming, the director Zac brothers and producer Hunter Laurie spent a week preparing a dinner for him in the Chelsea apartment, and everyone on the crew was also affected by it. The invitation was dressed up, but Michel Shalhoub only accepted the invitation out of politeness, but did not attend .

It turned out to be a spoof of Torn Curtain. I have to admit that many bridge sections are very good (brokers visit prisons, escape from prison, throw soldiers down the city wall to slag, boots, big phones, underwater fights, etc.)

The spoof of more than 30 years ago is ridiculous, many classic scenes, adapted East German songs, the Great Escape, tribute to the Wizard of Oz, underwater western fights, even Reagan was hacked
