Short description

Johnny English Strikes Again follows the bumbling British secret agent after a cyberattack exposes the identities of every active undercover operative in the country. With the agency's network compromised, Johnny, now working as a teacher at a minor prep school, is brought back because his ignorance of modern technology has left him untouched by the hack. Tasked with tracking down the hacker responsible, he has to rely on his outdated analogue methods while confronting digital tools he barely understands.

Rowan Atkinson returns in the title role, joined by Olga Kurylenko as Ophelia, Ben Miller as Bough, Emma Thompson as the Prime Minister and Jake Lacy as Jason Volta. David Kerr directed from a screenplay by William Davies, with Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner and Chris Clark producing. It is the second feature Kerr directed, following The Harrowing, and the third instalment in the comedy series built around Atkinson's character.

Made for about 25 million dollars, the film took roughly 159 million dollars worldwide, a return well above its cost. On IMDb it holds 6.2 out of 10 from around 90,000 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 6.3 from far fewer ratings. A critics' rating of 4.9 from 106 reviews places it below both audience scores.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The only film in the franchise where the end credits are not overlaid with a continuation of the storyline.
  • When Rowan Atkinson and Ben Miller portray musicians, Atkinson plays “My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean” off-key. This is a traditional Scottish folk song that is very popular outside of Scotland and is quite likely the only Scottish song he knows.
  • Emma Thompson's involvement was kept strictly confidential during filming. Her participation in the project (she played a supporting role) became known only from the promotional trailer.
  • Rowan Atkinson's character drives the actor's car again in the film – this time an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Atkinson purchased it only six months before filming began.
  • During the dance, Rowan Atkinson's character performed the signature moves of Mr. Bean.
