• Jennifer Love Hewitt and Rachel McAdams were considered for the role of Agent 99.
• When the project was being developed in 1998, Jim Carrey was considered for the lead role.
• Some scenes were filmed on the grounds of McGill University in Montreal. Other scenes were filmed in Moscow, Washington, and Los Angeles.
• The red "Ferrari" in the film has the license plate N654GT, but Russian license plates cannot contain letters of the English alphabet.
• The five-minute skydiving scene, where Maxwell Smart falls out of the plane but is rescued by Agent 99, was filmed for real. Under the guidance of renowned photographer Norman Kent, a team of professional skydivers shot the entire scene over 70 parachute jumps over 4 weeks, exclusively at sunset or dawn.
• Anne Hathaway sustained a shin injury during filming, and the wound had to be stitched.
• Initially, a sequel was planned, but Steve Carell read the script and declined to participate in the filming. He subsequently wrote a sequel script himself, and the film’s director, Peter Segal, even liked the script, however, after this film Anne Hathaway became a star, and Alan Horn, who had been promoting the film, left for another job at ‘Disney,’ so even Carell realized that a sequel wouldn't happen. In 2019, he confirmed in an interview that the moment for a sequel had passed.
• During the skydiving scene, Steve Carell’s stunt double wore a special device under his suit, so at a certain altitude, the jacket would open at the back and deploy a parachute.
