This line is but one of many clichés, which include caricatures from foreign countries (an Indian, an African and a German all have unbelievably stereotypical accents) and a dancing Queen Elizabeth. In fact, accents are a problem all around in this movie. Keith David, a Brit, can’t seem to pull off his American accent, and Cody’s driver, a Brit, is obviously American. Other characters, like the Frankenstein weirdo who invents spy gadgets, and the blind, demented butler, are farcical. The whole movie feels like a cartoon come to life.
The violence is a kid-friendly version of James Bond, with lots of kicking, punching and explosions, but no blood. There is significant property damage (to cars, buildings, an antique vase and priceless gifts belonging to the Queen), but no one is ever injured. The most dramatic scene takes place in a water storage warehouse, with the characters dodging each other amid exploding water bottles.
The profanity in the movie is mild (“screwed up,” “sucks,” “hell,” and “haul some a—”) with some potty humor (one fart in an elevator and a test tube said to be “urine” spills on some food that is then eaten). Adults drink cocktails, but no one is ever drunk (a woman says that she is “pickled” from her cold medicine) and the kids abstain. The only romance is a chaste kiss on the cheek.
