Correction

---I just saw this great comedy again today! One correction that needs to be made for this article in the plot summary. It isn't the missle that destroys the MTV satellite, it is the misfiring laser weapon that misses the inbound ICBM and hits the MTV satellite ('cool!'). Yanqui9 02:37, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also if I remember correctly from the movie, the missile is headed toward New York City, not Detroit. That should also be corrected.--W Scott Lincoln, M.S. 06:45, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In the movie after the missile is launched, Dan Akroyd's character says "...it will be 28 minutes before the rocket detonates above it's target – somewhere inside the Continental United States." He never said a specific city. Later in the film before the rocket is diverted, it shows it coming down above a land mass. I went to Google Earth to see if it could match it up with the Detroit area (as the article had said) and it looks nothing like it. Too me it looked more like Long Island, but even that didn't match up. I believe it's just a matte painting of no specific area. Cyberia23 (talk) 07:17, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Homage

The page on the Bob Hope/Bing Crosby "Road to" movies states that "Spies Like Us" was style as homage to those films. Should this be reverse linked? Somersetlevels (talk) 10:14, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Legacy

Chuck (TV series) pays homage multiple times

Emmett Millbarge as a character in seasons 2 & 3
Chevy Chase starred as season 2's main villain
In Chuck Versus the Tooth, Chuck and Sarah watch the movie on their couch.
