Agent 99: Are you staring at my butt?
Maxwell Smart: No, no, I...I was, but I'm not...I'm staring again.
In the scenes at the symphony concert, the orchestra is supposed to be playing Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. But in the first concert scene - a very quick snippet - they are playing Mozart's 40th symphony instead. Also, in the movie, both the Mozart 40th and the Beethoven 9th are seen employing a piano (although only the Mozart has the piano audible). In fact, neither of these symphonies requires a piano - there's no piano at all in the score of either one. See more...
There is a wanted poster for Mr. Big seen in Max's apartment during the movie's opening credits. Mr. Big was the villain in the TV show's pilot episode. See more...

When Max is 'captured' by Sigfreid and they are watching Agent 99 on the video feed, Max says something like, "Mrs. Spalkis must be lost," as well as making several other obvious references to the fact that he has been caught. Agent 99 can hear every word he says, and yet she doesn't even react to Max's suspicious quotes until he says, "99, we've been compromised." [What's the problem?, 99 simply don't understand Max. It's a character mistake.]
Is Maxwell Smart married or not? Several times during the film, he has a wedding band on his left hand, then it's gone, and in another scene it's there, then disappears. [Max is wearing the ring as part of his cover-up story that he and 99 are on their honeymoon. He takes it off when their plan goes astray.]

When Smart is bashing Shtarker's head against the optical scanner to break out of the bakery, watch the scanner carefully. Although it's supposed to be made of hard plastic or metal, whenever Shtarker's head hits it, the scanner flexes inward then pops right back out with each successive blow. Obviously a movie prop; thin film covering foam rubber to keep the actor's face from getting injured. [Yes, it does, but how do we know what the scanner is supposed to be made out of? If we knew that, we would know how the technology of KAOS worked. Perhaps the scanner worked better with softer material, or KAOS got complains of people bonking their heads on the scanner; the fact is, we don't know what the scanner is supposed to be made out of.]
When Max and Agent 99 jump out of the plane, they are falling for much longer than they would be in real life. (Proved by the free-falling episode of Mythbusters). [Untrue. In the episode of MYTHBUSTERS mentioned, they proved that a specific scenario at a certain height in a certain plane from a certain movie was impossible. It was not a general debunking. We don't know how high the plane was in the air (in this movie) so we can't say how long falling from it would take.]
