Everyone has their favourite spy -a person who’ll overcome all obsticles to do whats needed for their country. Here’s the spies you’ll call upon to save the day and have a martini with afterwards.
Bond- James Bond. It just wouldnt be a list of top spies without him would it? Can always be found with a martini in hand, a beautiful women in the other hand and q’s finest gadgets, 007 always got the job done with style. Everyone will argue for hours over who was the best Bond, but never whether 007 deserves his legendary status. When we think of Spies we think of him because nobody does it better.
Harry Palmer- Micheal Caine played the Anti Bond. A world apart from Bond, the Palmer films took places in gritty settings, with Palmer himself a mirror image of Bond. With glasses and lacking Bonds class, but certainly not his ruthlessness, Palmer proved himself to be a top spy in his own right.
Austin Powers- the 60s hippest spy, who was frozen only to be defrosted in the late 1990s to fight Dr Evil and his schemes. Paying homage to the great spies and the films, Powers had Bond gadgets, Palmers glasses and a charm that was his own. Wed always get a good laugh as he saved the day in the most outrageous ways. The Austin Powers movies paid trbiute to creator Mike Myer’s favourite spy films and carved out a niche all of their own.
Jason Bourne. It took millions of dollars and years to make him good at what he does, but one wrong mission ends up with Bourne not knowing who he is, and inches from death. While Bond struggled to adapt to the nineties, Bourne slots in perfectly, blending in with the crowd rather than standing out, but not afraid to hijack a car when need called for it. Tracked by the very people who’d trained him, it was their very training that saved him time and again.
