FAQ



    Clumsy MI7 office worker Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) unexpectedly has his dreams of becoming a spy come true when Agent One is killed in the line of duty and all other MI7 agents are assassinated in a bombing during Agent One's funeral. Now a MI7 agent, Johnny and his assistant Bough (Ben Miller) are assigned by their boss Pegasus (Tim Pigott-Smith) to investigate further into Agent One's death and the assassination of all the other MI7 agents. Upon learning Agent One suspected a theft of the Crown Jewels, Johnny and Bough supervise security that are at the Tower of London. But, when the Crown Jewels are stolen, Johnny and Bough follow the trail of the culprits: former convicts Dieter Klein (Steve Nicolson) and Klause Vendetta (Douglas McFerran) and they discover they are both working for Pascale Sauvage (John Malkovich) a wealthy French businessman whom is a friend of the Royal family and is a distant descendant of James II and they soon learn Sauvage plots to depose Queen Elizabeth and steal the throne of England for himself. But, as Pegasus dismisses Johnny for disobeying a direct order to leave Sauvage alone. Johnny and Bough aided by undercover INTERPOL agent Lorna Campbell (Natalie Imbruglia) set to stop Sauvage from becoming king and they also set out to stop from shutting down England and turning the entire British country into a prison for the world's criminals.



    Yes - The Naked Gun: From The Files of Police Squad (1988). In that film, Leslie Nielsen starred as incompetent cop Lt. Frank Drebin who is assigned to investigate the shooting of his partner Officer Nordberg (O.J. Simpson) but soon discovers respected businessman Vincent Ludwig (Ricardo Montalban) is responsible and that he is plotting to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II. In this film, Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) investigates the theft of the Crown Jewels and soon discovers French businessman Pascale Suvage (John Malkovich) who is responsible for the theft is plotting to dethrone Queen Elizabeth II.



    No. In practice, the monarch has no power, acting merely as a ceremonial head of state with most of his/her powers exercised by the government. In theory, (s)he has certain powers - to refuse to dissolve Parliament, to appoint anyone (s)he likes as Prime Minister, dismiss a Prime Minister and his/her Government, to refuse to give the Royal Assent to a Bill, and to refuse the "King's/Queen's Consent", where direct monarchical assent is required for a bill affecting the prerogative, hereditary revenues. But the idea that the monarch can arbitrarily seize land from its owner is fictional.



    No, Johnny English is derived from a series of Barclaycard advertisements in which Atkinson played a bungling superspy named "Richard Latham". Bough's character is also carried over from the ads (although played by a new actor), and many jokes are recycled from the advertisements into the film.



    Yes, Johnny English Reborn (2011) was released in 2011. Also a threequel: Johnny English Strikes Again (2018)
