I was just going to guess that one, then saw it from **Spoonbender**. But since I didn’t really know, and neither does Spoonbender, I’ll put a second guess on _Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me_, or whichever was the second one.

Well I checked it out on IMDB, and Clear and Present Danger is it. So, here’s another…

Cute. Clever. Mischievous. Intelligent. Dangerous. We’re Here!

I have to step out for awhile, and won’t have access to the boards for several hours. Feel free to check answers on IMDB.

(For those keeping count, I’ve reached 1000 posts! :D)
