Johnny English
Johnny English is a 2003 spy action comedy film directed by Peter Howitt and written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and William Davies. It is a British-French venture produced by StudioCanal and Working Title Films, and distributed by Universal Pictures. Starring Rowan Atkinson in the title role along with Natalie Imbruglia, Ben Miller and John Malkovich, it is the first instalment of the Johnny English film series and serves as a parody and homage to the spy genre, mainly the James Bond film series, as well as Atkinson's Mr. Bean character. The character is also related to Atkinson's bumbling spy character from a series of adverts in the United Kingdom for Barclaycard in the 1990s. Released theatrically in the United States on 18 July 2003, the film met with mixed reviews from critics but was commercially successful and grossed $160 million worldwide against a budget of $40 million. The film was released in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2003 and topped the country's box office for the next three weekends, before being overtaken by X2. It was followed by two sequels, Johnny English Reborn (2011) and Johnny English Strikes Again (2018).

Monsieur Sauvage, on behalf of Her Majesty, may I welcome you to the Tower. Merci, monsieur. So, are you here alone, Mr. English? That's how I choose to live my life, Miss Campbell. Women want safety, security. I can offer them nothing but danger. Some women find danger very attractive. Women like you, Miss Campbell? Women like me expect men like you... to find that out for yourself. Hmm. Madame. Oh, it's for me, actually. Could your rustle up some of those cheesy niblets? Now, where were we? You obviously haven't met our host, Monsieur Sauvage. No, thank God. You know, I think I'd rather have my bottom impaled on a giant cactus... than exchange pleasantries with that jumped-up Frenchman. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing the French should host is an invasion. [ Snickers ] Sorry, can I help? Pascal Sauvage, jumped-up Frenchman. Lorna Campbell. I've been so looking forward to meeting you. - Enchant�. - [ Muttering ] But of course! You'reJohnny English. I've heard all about you. And between you and me, I'm not so keen on the French myself. But please don't tell them that. Let me go and search for your nibbly cheese bits. - No, no, no. I-- - I insist. The French are, after all, fantastic waiters. - The best in the world. - Well-- But-But-- - Wait here, and I will wait on you. - No, really. There's no-- No. Please, please, please!

Ladies and gentlemen, mesdames est messieurs, bienvenus, welcome tonight to this wonderful occasion. As we stand here in the Tower of London, the most famous prison in the world, where these wonderful jewels will rest safely... under lock and key, I want to thank you... for giving me this wonderful experience... to contribute to the restoration of these jewels. It was, as we say in France, le top, le best of. - [ Feigned Chuckle ] - And what a beautiful-- [ Screaming ]

[ Grunts ] [ Woman Screams ] It's Colonel Chevenix! He's got a nasty wound, sir. Who hit him? The assailant. He ran in here. Bough, you guard the door. Aha! [ Grunting ] [ Pounding, Grunting ] For God's sake, Bough, don't come in. The man's a maniac! - [ Guests Gasp ] - You don't frighten me.! - [ Glass Shatters ] - Missed.! [ Guests Gasping ]

- [ Guests Gasping ] - I've managed to subdue the assailant. The panic's over. Everything's under control. - [ Applause ] - [ Chevenix Groans ] Thank you. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we should compose ourselves for the arrival of Her Majesty... and return to the site of our great nation's... magnificently restored Crown Jewels.

[ All Gasping ] I know. I feel it too. The very symbols of our island nation, so close we could almost reach out and-- - **[ Trumpet Fanfare ] - Pray silence for Her Majesty the Queen. [ Queen ] Oh, where are thejewels? [ Pegasus ] It's an unmitigated disaster, English. I couldn't agree more, sir. Well, we need to get these jewels back, English, and fast. Tell me about this assailant. When they searched the room, there was no sign ofhim. Well, the man was clearly a professional. He must have escaped while the queen was being sedated. But he's the only lead we've got. We have to find him. Come in. This is-- This is Roger from Data Support. Please sit down. He'll produce a likeness based on your description. So tell us, what did this man look like? Um... well... he was... big. - Hair color? - Um... orange. - Orange? - Mmm. And curly. Well, frizzy, actually. Frizzy sort of thing. - Frizzy. - An eye patch. Broken nose. Very few teeth. Two, I would say, at the most. And a scar on his cheek... in the shape... of a banana. - Which cheek? - Both cheeks. They sort of met in the middle. Are you sure about this, English? [ Gasps ] Oh,yes, that's him. An uncanny resemblance. Why, it's just as if he's in the room with us.

[ Engine Revs ] Oh, uh-- Good morning, gentlemen. Thank you very much for waiting. Now, the question that faces us this morning is a simple one. Namely, how did the thieves gain access to this highly secure environment... and then escape with thejewels afterwards? A simple question, but one which I believe has a complex answer. - Actually, sir-- - Uh, please, Bough. My mind is at work. Now, what you must grasp, gentlemen, is that the master criminal... sees not a room but a series of opportunities. Should I go in through the window? Possibly. - Should I drop down from the ceiling? - Actually, sir-- There's one thing I think we can be fairly confident about, that is that they didn't come up through the floor-- I've got you, sir. That's all right. Just come my way, Bough. - That'll bring me right over the hole, sir. - There's no need to panic.

What now? There's no way back up there, that's for sure. But this must lead somewhere. I'm slightly uncomfortable in the dark, sir. There's nothing to worry about, Bough. - It may be pitch black, but we can still see. - Can we, sir? How? The Bedouin monks of the Al Maghreb mountains... developed a system of sonic chanting. - I see, sir. - The sound of their chanting... would bounce back off any obstacles, and using their highly tuned ears... they could paint a mental picture of the path ahead. - Brilliant, sir. - However, you must always sing in E-flat. ** [ Humming ] * E-flat, E-flat, E-flat * * Thank you for the music The songs I'm singing * - Is it working, sir? - Extremely well, thank you, Bough. * Thanks for all the joy that-- ** - [ Thud ] - Ow! You all right, sir? I think I can see something, sir. Oh,yeah. Come on.
