    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Speaking at the 2006 AFI Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony, Eddie Izzard said that he took a role in this movie in order to meet Sir Sean Connery.
    • Goofs
      As in so many films, the chess board is round the wrong way.
    • Quotes

      Alice: [holding a submachine gun, to Steed and Emma Peel] Would you please be so kind as to hit the ground, if it's not too much trouble?

      [Fires submachine gun, kills the bad guy]

      Alice: I hope he was a baddie.

    • Alternate versions
      UK DVD Z1 15873 does not feature Eddie Izzard opening his knife in his final fight - footage cut but present in other versions. The shot of the knife being opened is replaced by a reaction shot of Emma that is not featured in versions that have the knife opening. As a result the different versions do not have a different running time as the action goes back perfectly in sync after this moment.

    Waste of Cast and Budget
    In London, the agent of the Ministry John Steed (Ralph Fiennes) and Dr. Emma Peel (Uma Thurman) are summoned by the Mother (Jim Broadbent), who shows a footage where the Prospero Project that controls the weather is damaged by Dr. Peel. They head to meet Sir August de Wynter (Sean Connery), who is a weather specialist, but soon they discover that he wants to rule the world, using his machine that controls the weather.

    I saw "The Avengers" in the 90's and did not like this movie. Today I have just seen it again on DVD and I found again a silly and boring movie that wastes cast and budget. It is hard to believe that Sean Connery accepted to work in this turkey. My vote is three.

    Title (Brazil): "Os Vingadores" ("The Avengers")
