Anne Hathaway, Steve Carell, and Dwayne Johnson in Get Smart (2008)

FAQ

Get Smart

FAQ



    CONTROL is a secret, but inept, U.S. government spy agency based in Washington, D.C.. that does battle against its equally inept nemesis known as KAOS (or sometimes CHAOS). Despite being capitalized, CONTROL and KAOS are not acronyms and do not stand for anything.



    Bernie Kopell, who played the original Siegfried, has a cameo as an irate motorist who says that Max shouldn't run out in the middle of the street because he might get hit by a car. Leonard Stern, the executive producer of the TV series, appears as an airplane pilot.



    Yes, it appears in a museum exhibit in the beginning of the movie and gets called into use toward the end. The way it gets used plays on the idea of "why would you use a shoe phone when you have a cell phone?"



    Barbara Feldon played the original CONTROL agent known as "99". On the MTV movie blog site, it was announced that Feldon couldn't make the trip to Montreal on the day that they were shooting what could have been her cameo. The reason she couldn't make the trip was not given, but rumor has it that she was in ill health.



    That information is classified. Agent 99's real name is not revealed in the movie, but some viewers think it would have been a lovely tribute to Barbara Feldon to at least have had her first name be "Barbara". In a single episode of the old 1960s show Get Smart, Agent 99 claims her name is Susan Hilton. However, at the end of the episode, she confesses that Susan isn't her real name. None of the old TV shows or movies reveal her true name.
