Wissenswertes
According to the book "Spies and Sleuths: Mystery, Spy and Suspense Films on Videocassette" (1988), the filmmakers were forbidden to enter the then official borderline between East Germany and West Germany, a zone which was located about ten feet in front of the Berlin Wall. As such, "because the production was not allowed to cross into East Berlin, an exact replica of the wall from the eastern point of view had to be built just a few feet in front of the west side".

Patzer
When leaving the DDR by foot the border guard asks Jonathon "What was your purpose of visit to East Berlin?" - East Berlin was never referred to as "East" by the DDR as this would lend recognition to the occupying forces of the other side - they would have said just "Berlin" or "Berlin Haupstadt der DDR" (capital of the DDR)- they referred to West Berlin as "Westberlin" or "Berlin (west)"

Zitate
[Jonathan has just crossed from East Berlin to West Berlin and is meeting with an American MP]
Jonathan: Am I in West Berlin now?
M.P.: You sure are.
Jonathan: [looking back at East Berlin and giving it the finger] Fuck you!
[looking back to the M.P]
Jonathan: Good night.
[heads off]
M.P.: [looking at Jonathan, then looking at East Berlin] I've been wanting to do that for the last six months.

We Get It!

This is superb. There is nothing else to say about it. You know the premise and I'm not about to reveal anymore. Is it somewhat silly? Yes - but aren't they all in this genre? But does it have a good story line and good characters? Does it ever.

I don't think Linda Fiorentino ever looked (or acted) better. This is a romp - and it's filmed across half the world, and it isn't only the second unit that gets to travel, unless there's been some very clever scheduling going on.

This one is a total keeper. Edwards is simply good, Fiorentino is convincing - just don't expect a Picasso. This isn't big like that - but it's bound to cheer you up on an otherwise easy afternoon.

Oh - Alex Rocco and Marla Adams are great as the parents. This is not supposed to be a belly laugh movie, but that just shows what depth and breadth it has. You may not like it - we sure did.
