Trivia
The song the horse sings is "Du, Du Liegst Mir Im Herzen" ('You, You, Weigh On My Heart'), a North German folk song of about 1820. And it's done in perfect German, too. See more...
Top Secret! (1984) - 9 mistakes
Directed by David Zucker, starring Val Kilmer (add more)
Visible crew/equipment: In the "Straighten the Rug" dance scene, when Nick runs up the wall and does a backflip, it is clear that he is being held up by wires. The filmmakers did a good job rotoscoping the wires out against the wall, but when his legs pass behind the wires and harness, they have not been taken out at all and are visible. (Freeze-frame when he is completely upside down for the best view.).
Other: The scene in the bookstore is shot in reverse, which although humorous, isn't a mistake. The mistake is the fact that what the characters say and what the subtitles say don't match up. When speaking the character's dialogue comes out all garbled, and when a name is brought up in the subtitles there is no reference to that person's name in the conversation.
Continuity: When Nick races to the rescue on the motorbike, he first jumps over a barbed-wire fence in an open field. Then the shot changes to a road lined with trees (the Roadrunner Beeping scene), and then the background switches again to the open field as he swings the bike over a row of buses. Then the scene switches back to the road, to the truck with Hillary and Nigel.
