Trivia
Screenwriter Paul Feig, who once was an aspiring stuntman himself, is a fan of Jason Statham's action movies. Feig tailored Statham's Rick Ford character in the film especially for the actor to play.

Goofs
When Susan Cooper steals a moped she is wearing black stilettos. However when she tries to jump from the ramp and the moped lands in the bed of wet concrete the camera angle from the waist down shows she is wearing a pair of flat black shoes obviously indicating where the stunt performer has been substituted for Melissa McCarthy. As the camera cuts back to a medium shot of McCarthy driving through the concrete the stiletto's then reappear.

Quotes
Rick Ford: Nothing kills me. I'm immune to 179 different types of poison. I know because I ingested them all at once when I was deep undercover in an underground poison-ingesting crime ring.

Crazy credits
Actor Mitch Silpa's character is credited as "Colin (name stricken) Fredrick!"

Alternate versions
The Blu-ray contains an extended cut with 10 minutes of extra footage.

Familiar premise, fantastic execution

This is hardly the first or last spy parody movie. Some nail it (Johnny English), and some miss badly (the Austin Powers sequels). This one was just plain perfect. There's nothing original, but every cast member - McCarthy especially - nails every part. Comedies like this work best with real characters and unreal plots. Paul Feig clearly gets that. I laughed. A lot.
