Spy spoof with Rowan Atkinson as
accident-prone MI-7 agent Johnny English, who takes on a
Machiavellian French business magnate (John Malkovich) after all of
the other secret agents have been killed. Helping English protect
the British monarchy are Ben Miller as his sidekick and recording
artist Natalie Imbruglia as his object of affection. Also with Kevin
McNally. Directed by Peter Howitt. [1:28]
SEX/NUDITY 3 - A man and a woman lean close to each
other to kiss, and a man steps close to a woman as if to kiss her. A
woman holds a man's hands tenderly. A man spills a drink on a
woman's chest, then puts his head on her chest, and a man touches a
woman's buttocks and she screams. A man's underwear is pulled down
and we linger on his bare buttocks. Women wear outfits that reveal
cleavage, bare abdomens and lower backs, bare legs and shoulders. A
man bends over and his underwear slips down revealing his buttock
cleavage. We see a man in his boxers and tank T-shirt in several
scenes: in one scene he dances comically thrusting his hips forward
a few times (a bulge is evident in his shorts). Men and women also
dance. A man says, presumably in Japanese, and translated in
subtitles: "May all your daughters be born with three bottoms."
Innuendo includes: A woman talks to a man about "things she'd like
to do to and with him," and she says "you've made love to lots of
women...," and talks about a "hunger."
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Two men are shot at, they shoot
back, a gas canister is thrown into the room and the bad guys escape
in a car. Two men are shot at by men with automatic weapons. A bomb
explodes in the background of a scene and we hear that many people
were killed. We hear that a man was "...killed in action." A man and
a woman fight with kicks and punches; the woman is shoved into a
wall, falls to the floor, grabs the man's gun and shoves him into
the wall knocking him unconscious. A man swings from a rope and is
shot at a few times, and he falls from the rope landing on a man and
knocking him to the floor. A man is grabbed by the ankles and falls
to the floor (we see him later with a very bloody nose). A man is
hit on the head with a bottle (he falls to the floor unconscious and
we see a large bruise on his face), two men are hit in the head with
a fire extinguisher canister, and a man is hit on the back of the
head with a gun. A woman is accidentally shot by a dart (or bullet,
it's unclear) and falls unconscious on the floor (we see her being
taken away on a stretcher and later in a wheelchair). A group of
armed men force their way into a residence, with guns drawn, and
threaten a woman and her dog. A man and a woman are surrounded by
armed men. A man shoves and yells at a man. Two men parachute from a
plane and land on a rooftop. A women is launched into the air by an
ejector seat (we hear her scream). A rocket is launched and hits a
traffic camera on a street causing an explosion. People are held at
gunpoint and threatened with guns in many scenes: A man is held with
a gun to the back of his head, he twists around and pokes the man
with the gun in the neck with a syringe ring and the man falls to
the floor unconscious; and a man is held by two men with guns, he
pulls the guns together and uses them to knock the men out. In
another scene, two men are poked by a syringe ring and they flop on
the floor unable to control their movements. People drive recklessly
in a few scenes: Two men in a tow truck (with a car on the back)
chase two other men in a hearse; they swerve though narrow streets
and traffic, one man climbs out of the truck and into the car, the
car is lifted off the tow truck bed and swung out over the street,
it is lowered and nearly run into by oncoming traffic, it swings
back and forth, and is eventually dropped onto a trailer where it
reverses off and back into traffic. A man pulls hard on another
man's ears and nose. A man nearly falls into a large hole in the
floor, a man climbs down a hole in the floor and gets stuck, and
another man falls into the hole, hits the man who is stuck and they
both fall down to the bottom. An uncomfortable scene shows a man
dancing on a coffin at a funeral and making remarks about it all
being a show. Two guard dogs bark viciously at a man. A woman tries
to hit a man a few times but she is blocked. A man is hit in the
face by a door, and a man bangs his head on a pipe. A man's neck tie
is caught in a conveyor belt; he is dragged along by the neck,
knocking people off their chairs and onto the floor. A man pretends
to be fighting a man behind a door; we hear things breaking, hear
blows and thuds and he emerges with ketchup on his face, thus
looking as if he's covered in blood. A man spills a drink on a
woman's chest, he puts his head on her chest, and she screams and
hits him. A man climbs up through a pipe that turns out to be a
toilet drain; a group of men use the toilets above, a chain is
pulled to flush and waste washes over the man in the pipe, he pops
his head up through one of the seats and he is covered with goo
(another man pops his head up through a seat later). A man pulls the
trigger of his gun and feces sputters out of it. A man eats a piece
of sea urchin, gags and spits it out. A man drops a glass that
breaks and breaks the stem off another. A man says "...he hasn't
urinated on anyone yet, has he?", a woman says sea urchins "eat
through their bottoms." People gather at the Tower of London and
references are made to its history as a prison.
