Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (revealing mistake): The IMF wants gangster Frank Layton (Warren Stevens) to believe that Gen. Neyron (Albert Paulsen) has signed a contract with a reclusive billionaire to double-cross the Syndicate. To do this, they forge Neyron's signature on a substitute contract that supposedly deals with gambling rights in the General's home country. The creators apparently borrowed a standard form entertainment agreement as a prop, however; the text immediately above the signature line, which is visible in a couple of shots even without freeze-framing the picture, deals with television and production rights.
  • Goof (continuity error): 48:58 When the team regroup outside in a delivery truck Cinnamon is wearing a navy blue outfit with a short skirt. Inside the house, thirty seconds earlier, she is dressed in a maid's uniform.
  • Goof (continuity error): Driving away in the panel van, the close up shows the number '6819' above the front window. This disappears in the long shot.
