    Sierra Mist Undercover Orange (2008-2008): A clear, lemon-lime soda with a mandarin orange twist, this limited edition drink was made to promote the film "Get Smart", and was only available for the summer. A diet version was also produced.

    Spoilers for a 2008 movie I guess but the Steve Carrell Get Smart movie featuring the Rock’s character turn out to be a bad guy makes it feel like such an artifact simply because that’s exactly the kind of thing he’d never put up with now

    According to Buck Henry, producer Daniel Melnick came up with the basic idea for Get Smart. Melnick told Mel Brooks and Henry that he wanted a character based on the two most popular film franchises at the time: the James Bond and The Pink Panther.

    Only example I can think of is the GET SMART movie where Steve Carell says he's older than Anne Hathaway, and she says not by much, because when she got surgery for her new face, she had them "take a couple years off." I remember it 17 yrs later because it was so notable it was talked about at all.

    You’re confusing the timeline. He’d established success with Get Smart, but The Producers was his first film. He didn’t yet have the clout to override management, but did it anyway, and that’s what contributed to his success.

    Pretty sure my generation is the reason that Get Smart had a flop movie made for it. Used to be on after cartoons ended on Nick at Nite. Followed by Mork and Mindy. Not to mention the hr of cartoons before that was Rocky and Bullwinkle and Duddle Doo Right.

    I’ve always been fascinated by this because it was filmed at the same time at the main movie which means they were so confident that Bruce and Lloyd were going to be the beloved breakout stars of Get Smart that they had to be prepared to meet the instant demand for more of them.

    I heard his son say that on Front Row but I don’t think it can possibly be true. It sounds more like a Mel Brooks joke. In early 1965, Brooks hadn’t directed anything much less a feature film - he and Buck Henry were still TV writers struggling to get ‘Get Smart’ to TV.
