Teresa “Terry” Doolittle, is a typical New York fund transferrer for the First National Bank in Manhattan. In her office she does not fit in. Her desk is full of funny ornaments and is very decorative.

She is often told off by her boss James Page for chatting in an informal manner with other bank computer workers around the globe.

One night she is contacted by a man calling himself “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”, who turns out to be a British Intelligence agent stuck in a hostile country in eastern Europe, and being pursued by the KGB. Jack tells Terry that he can only communicate with her via computer chat, and only over a private channel.

In order to access his channel, Terry needs to type in Jack’s code-key (a special password), however, because he is afraid of the KGB electronically eavesdropping on their conversation, Jack refuses to tell Terry his code-key. He tells her instead to “sing with me, and find the key”.

Terry, a huge fan of classic rock, figures that the key must be hidden somewhere in the lyrics to The Rolling Stones song. After several hours of fruitlessly searching the lyrics, Terry figures out the code-key is B-Flat (the key in which “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” is supposedly written in – in reality the song is actually recorded in the key of B) Although from the sheet music that Terri finds the password, musically-speaking, “B-flat” is slightly an easier key to play on the piano hence the manuscript being a semi-tone lower.

He appeals to buy Rumalaya online Terry to help him return home safely, sending her on wacky and dangerous adventures all over New York, the most memorable being breaking into a British Consulate Ball and having her dress caught in a paper shredder and being dragged through the streets of Manhattan while trapped in a phone booth.

Goofs from the movie:

–

• Audio/visual unsynchronized: During the entire movie, Terri is constantly only hitting six keys over and over again when she types. Many times the number of keys she presses between pauses and lapses do not correspond with the sound or what appears on the screen.

• Boom mic visible: When Terry is laying on the desk typing to Jack a boom mic is visible in the top right hand corner.

• Continuity: After entering Jack’s key code, Terry’s monitor changes from an amber monochrome display to a 16-color display.

• Continuity: When Jack first chats to Terry, he asks, “Are you alone?” Terry replies, “Yes.” We see her hitting three keys, but then when her screen is shown, we see four characters (“Yes.”).

• Continuity: As Terri is being forced into the backseat of Mr. Lincoln’s car she is wearing a long yellow scarf and yellow sneakers. Later in the same scene she is running through the Elizabeth Arden Salon wearing the yellow scarf but now with white sneakers.

• Continuity: When Terry is giving the pregnant woman a hug in the beginning of the movie, there is nothing in the woman’s hands. However, when they break the embrace she (the pregnant woman) is holding some fuzzy dice.

• Continuity: When Terry first contacts Van Meter, the clock on Terry’s wall reads 12:15 (AM). We hear Van Meter say he can meet her in 20 minutes because he’s scheduled to fly to Brussels at 3:00 AM; that would mean a meeting time of 12:35 AM. However, in the next shot, Terry is on the docks and states that it’s 1:30 AM. That’s over an hour later, and is not enough time (theoretically) for Van Meter to get to JFK for a 3:00 AM flight.

• Continuity: When Terry is scaling the roof at the British Consulate to get into the computer room, her belt is ripped off her gown. The belt and the tape recorder that was tucked into it, fall onto the sidewalk below. When Terry looks down, both her belt and the tape recorder are gone.

• Continuity: In the scene where Lady Sarah Billings stops by Terry’s apartment with the contact information, she is wearing dark colored gloves. When she hands the envelope to Terry, the gloves are off, but as she leaves they are back on.

• Factual errors: Terry is arrested by two NYPD officers inside the British Consulate – but since the consulate is British sovereign territory, the NYPD would have no jurisdiction there.

• Factual errors: When Terry gives Jack the set-up contact details, she tells him to meet him at five pm the next day. Come three pm the next day where Terry is, and after her race back to the bank to warn Jack, she finds him just leaving to meet the contact. Jack is in Russia which would be at least seven hours ahead of New York. This would mean that Jack would be long-gone by the time Terry even finds out his contact is a set up, and would already be dead.

• Factual errors: When Terry is arrested, there are several glaring mistakes in police procedures, especially considering that she was a “woman with a gun.” She is not handcuffed and the back window of the police cruiser is open. Additionally, she is able to open the cruiser door from the inside.

• Factual errors: Lady Sara tells Terry that MI5 helped her get the exit contact for Jack. MI5 is concerned with Internal Security in Britain. Since Jack was out of the country, MI6 (external security) would be the agency establishing an exit contact.

• Miscellaneous: When Terry’s apartment was broken into and Marty comes to her door, you see her door with the broken, fully engaged chain locks hanging on the inside of her door. If her apartment was broken into when she was not home, the locks would not have been engaged and both ends would be undamaged during a break in. The same thing is again shown when Lady Sara shows at her door to provide an exit key for Jack and she tries to tuck it into the door.

• cialis effect style=”color: #000000;”>Revealing mistakes: After the computer monitors are shot at, you can clearly see text still showing on the broken pieces of screen. This is impossible, and are clearly dummy props.
