[edit] Plot
Cooper, the deputy director of the CIA, wants to be the director. So, he tries to smear the director into resigning or being removed. The director gives Cooper some false information—that there's a man who might be able to clear up the charges against him arriving at the airport, so he sends his man, Brown to meet him. Brown was just supposed to make contact with anyone at the airport thus making Cooper believe that he is the man who can help the director. Brown picks Richard because he is wearing mismatched shoes, one of them being red. So Cooper sets up surveillance on Richard and sends his femme fatale, Maddy to come on to him and find out what he knows. While Maddy is playing, Richard actually falls for her.

[edit] Goofs
- Cooper is chasing Richard and Maddy into the Senate Office Building and in one shot has his flip-up shades on and the next shot they're gone. All in an impossible split second.
- During the ambulance scene, the scenes from the inside of the ambulance show that the ambulance is driving around with the transmission in park.
- Softball games are played with only seven innings.
- After the plumbing is changed around, when Richard turns on the faucet (thus turning on the showerhead), the water sprays above his arm in the shot, but below his arm, no water is falling.
- When the stuntman, standing in for James Belushis' character, goes head over heels on the bicycle and into the river, because the handlebars have become detached, not only is the stuntman seen holding the handle bars as he tumbles thru the air, but the bicyle tumbling under him has handle bars on it.
- After one of the agents protecting Richard loses all of his teeth, there's a scene in the movie where he's eating solid food.
