Everybody loves to watch a good spy movie. It’s great to just lose yourself in the mad action and adventure, and imagine what it would be like if you could really have all those cool spy gadgets and drive around in one of those amazing customised cars. Here are five of the best film spies, and the reasons we love them so much.
5. Austin Powers (Mike Myers, the Austin Powers trilogy)
Austin Powers is the ultimate James Bond spoof, mixed with a bit of bizarre 60s eccentricity and a whole lot of ‘mojo’. He thinks he is the essence of spy-movie cool, and is oblivious to the fact that he’s really nothing but a slightly disturbing (if at times hilarious) parody. As for gadgets, if you can imagine it, Austin Powers probably has it. Forget hidden cameras, tiny guns and secret voice recorders. Here we have everything from giant lasers meant for blowing up the planet and ‘fembots’ with machine guns in their nipples to a time travelling car!
4. Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, Mission Impossible)
In his quest to prove his innocence over the murder of the rest of his team, Tom Cruise’s Hunt proves himself to be the perfect sleek, efficient secret agent. He has the cool skills and even cooler gadgets (including camera-glasses, exploding chewing gum, and who could forget those awesome masks!) and that annoying ability to get through anything, including a high-speed chase involving a train, a helicopter and the channel tunnel… and still look like he’s just stepped out of the hosue at the end of it all.
3. Charlie’s Angels (Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu, Charlie’s Angels)
The three femmes fatales are the ultimate team of secret agents. Working for the mysterious Charlie and with the help of his assistant, they go around fighting crime and, well, kicking ass. They may seem all sweetness and innocence but when these girls get angry, you really wouldn’t want to be on their wrong side. And with the help of Charlie’s technological genius (they can plant voice recorders and trackers in people’s teeth!) there really is no stopping them.
2. James Bond
An incomparable film spy who needs no introduction. Bond, in his many guises, sets the standard for spy films in every way.He’s suave, sophisticated and has a seemingly neverending arsenal of inconceivable gadgets and awesome cars at his disposal. And not to mention he somehow always manages to get the girl!
1. Jason Bourne (Matt Damon, the Bourne trilogy)
Bourne could well be the best spy of them all. After he wakes up with amnesia he doesn’t even know who he is or why he’s there, but he still has the skill and cunning to stay alive and work things out. He may not have many cool spy gadgets but it’s not like he needs them, he’s an expert at using everyday objects in unusual ways and he can turn pretty much anything into a weapon!
