Top 5 film spies
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 spies from the movies, and the reasons why we love them so much.
5. Austin Powers (Mike Myers, the Austin Powers trilogy)
Austin Powers is the absolute Bond spoof, mixed with bizarre 60s eccentricity and a whole lot of ‘mojo’. He thinks he epitomises spy-movie cool, and is oblivious to the fact that he’s really nothing but a funny, if slightly disturbing, parody. As for gadgets, if you can think of it Austin Powers probably has it. Forget hidden cameras, tiny guns and secret voice recorders. Here we have giant ‘death star’ lasers capable of blowing up the planet, ‘fembots’ with machine guns in their nipples and even a time travelling car!
4. Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, Mission Impossible)
In his quest to prove he is innocent of the murder of the rest of his team, om Cruise’s Hunt proves that he is 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 spectacular high-speed chase involving a train, a helicopter and the channel tunnel… and still look picture-perfect at the end of it all.
3. Charlie’s Angels (Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu, Charlie’s Angels)
These three femmes fatales are the ultimate team of spies. Working for the mysterious Charlie and with the help of his assistant Bosley, they go around fighting crime and kicking ass. They may seem all sweetness and innocence but when these girls get angry, you 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 can be no stopping them.
2. James Bond
The ultimate movie spy who needs no introduction. Bond, in his many guises, sets the bar for spy films in every way.He’s suave, sophisticated and has the use of a seemingly neverending arsenal of unbelievable gadgets and awesome cars. And of course, he always gets the girl!
1. Jason Bourne (Matt Damon, the Bourne trilogy)
Bourne is maybe the best spy of them all. After he wakes up with amnesia he doesn’t 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 unexpected ways and he can fashion pretty much anything into a weapon!
