* SteppingOutToReact: Max learns that he's been promoted to an Agent in the middle of a staff meeting. He calmly activates the [[ICantHearYou Cone of Silence]] and turns away so he can overreact without the others hearing him: "OH MY GOD, I'M SO HAPPY! THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE!" Unfortunately, he fails to press the button hard enough, so everyone hears him anyway.

* IKnowKarate: Parodied. While arguing with Agent 99 about his readiness for the mission, Maxwell Smart remarks that "I am an expert in the art of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hwa_Rang_Do Hwa Rang Do]]." He takes a fighting stance... and 99 punches him in the face.
-->'''Max:''' I was not ready!\\
'''99:''' ''(starts to walk off)'' That's my point.\\
'''Max:''' Yeah, you know what, that-- ''(99 turns around and slaps him for good measure)'' Hey--what was ''that?''

** Bernie Kopell, who played Siegfried in the show. Here, he's an Opel driver who stops when Max flags him down, complaining to him that he could be hit by a car... at which point the driver himself is rear-ended by an SUV.

** 99 in the series was a [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]] who highly respected Max, got disappointed with him at worst, and was very willing to be his partner (and had an obvious crush on him ever since the pilot). In the movie, she's a DefrostingIceQueen who has (understandably) ''very'' negative reactions to his incompetence, and seems to retain some annoyance even after they get together and he proves himself. She's also very snarky and irritable, even with other characters.

* NiceGuy: Max again. Also Agent 23, who, despite being TheAce, is the only agent who doesn't either at first dismiss Max or treat him like dirt. [[spoiler: Subverted when 23 is outed as TheMole and stops being anything resembling nice.]]

** Agent 99 is, at first, more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold (still a good person, but rather standoffish, blunt and irritable), but thanks to her CharacterDevelopment and her building a relationship with Max she most definitely becomes a NiceGirl.


Added DiffLines:

* TookALevelInKindness: Agent 99, being a DefrostingIceQueen, has this type of CharacterDevelopment, becoming progressively nicer and less standoffish.

* LaserHallway: Agent 99 has to navigate a laser web in Ladislas Krstic's house. The lack of a Spy Catsuit in this case is more than made up for by the presence of a slinky silver dress with a nice high split up the side. Then Agent Smart navigates it as well, though with a bit less dignity because the lasers also burn, and he has [[SquirrelsInMyPants a rat in his suit]].

** In the TV series ''Series/GetSmart'' Max was a general-purpose bungling idiot who only succeeds by [[TheFool luck]] and Agent 99's competence. In the film he's genuinely a clever guy and a ''great'' analyst, just inexpirenced as he's never been out in the field before the film, plus a little immature. This was apparently done to make a romantic relationship with 99 more believable as modern audience would not accept someone as buffoonish as the original Max being attractive to a woman as capable as 99.

Critical reaction was mixed, but consumers generally found it to be respectful and entertaining. Creator/MelBrooks even praised Steve Carell's acting.
