Edit
Trivia According to 'Get Smart' writer-producer Leonard Stern, the idea of a "nude bomb" was forced on the writers by the producers. The original idea by the writers - who also wrote the original series - was for the villain to want to control the world by dressing everyone in his designer clothes. The film was supposed to be titled 'The Return of Maxwell Smart' but the producers thought the new title would draw more viewers. Because of many disagreements, the writers were not allowed on the set. See more »
Goofs During the sequence where Agent 86 and The Chief visit Carruthers at the apartment, the viewer can see in some shots that Don Adams is wearing a hearing aid in his left ear. See more »

Crazy Credits The opening credits are based on Don Adams/Maxwell Smart's catch phrase "Would you believe...?" The words literally form the backdrop of the action; at one point "Would you believe a movie called 'The Nude Bomb' could receive a PG rating?" appears; and after Max inadvertently blows up the bad guy, the words "Would you believe a helluva explosion?" appear on screen.

Quotes Maxwell Smart: You know, Chief, this nude bomb might solve a lot of problems.
Chief: Such as?
Maxwell Smart: Well for one thing, flashers.
Chief: Only you would think of a that, Max.
Maxwell Smart: That's why they pay me the big bucks. And there'd be no more trouble with concealed weapons. I mean if everyone was nude, there'd be no place to hide a gun or a knife. Well, there is a place, but it could be painful.
