Warner Bros. obviously knew that these two would be a hit with audiences, since they had pre-planned to release a DVD spin-off that features them. It is called Get Smart’s Bruce and Lloyd Out of Control, and we’ve got five (5) copies to give away to a few lucky readers!

One of the coolest things about secret agent movies is the toys they have to do their jobs. The scary thing is that while some of these gadgets were figments of a writer’s imagination many years ago, some are becoming a reality.

When Peter Segal and Co. set out to make this new version of Get Smart, they set out not to remake, but to reinvigorate. In that light, their film can be seen as a significant accomplishment.
