"Sellers was ailing both mentally and physically..." Anybody like to take a stab at what "ailing" means? Can you get an ointment for it? Here we have a double helping, mental and physical. Journalists have so much to answer for... -- Stevouk ( talk) 15:05, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
In this movie, there's a stunt where a character escapes from a train by grabbing onto the rails of a helicopter and being flown away. At the time, it was considered very impressive, and was done for real by the stuntman. Could someone look into it and add something about it? - Richard Cavell ( talk) 06:27, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
I understand and respect the desire to minimize lists of trivia, but as numerous other cinematic references are noted in the article, would it be appropriate to mention that the scene (scenes?) where the lunatic Dreyfus is playing a pipe organ reference his turn as the Phantom in the 1962 version of Phantom of the Opera?

So of 12 assassinations' 8 are dead 3 shoot the wrong target and 1 is seduced twice.
Relly this should have been the end of the series---especially when Dreyus is "disappeared" but no....
The fictionalised version of President Ford in the film is shown as (1) obsessed with football and (2) tripping and falling over as he steps into the Oval Office, the latter presumably being a reference to the much replayed (and much parodied by Chevy Chase) time when he stumbled and fell down the steps of Air Force One. A cultural reference which audiences would have "got" and laughed at the time, but which most people would miss nowadays.
I'm a bit reluctant to waste my time posting this, as somebody will delete it for being "uncited". It might be worth posting if somebody has a third-party commentary to which it can be cited. Paulturtle ( talk) 03:02, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
