Goofs

Plot holes: Aziz is very upset when Harry attempts to conceal the fact that he knows what the warhead is, apparently because Aziz needs Harry's videotaped confirmation before the world will believe that he can detonate the nukes. But Aziz is well into preparations to detonate one anyway, long before the tape could have been delivered or broadcast. So the world will know when it goes off. There was therefore no need to threaten Helen or ever bring Harry to the island.  »

Quotes

Harry: Well, you see, this is the problem with terrorists. They're really inconsiderate when it comes to people's schedules.

Crazy Credits

In the middle of the credits, Gib (who's waiting outside in the
stereotypical spy van as Harry's having fun inside the party) says,
"You know what? I'm sick of being in the van. You guys can be in the van
next time. I've been in the van for fifteen years, Harry."  »
