Everyone has their favourite spy -a person who’ll overcome all obsticles to do whats needed for their country. These are the super spies with a license to kill, and to entertain.
Bond- James Bond. It just wouldnt be a list of top spies without him would it? With a gorgeous girl on his arm, the best gadgets and tuxedo neatly pressed while saving the world, Bond showed us how to do things with style. People may argue who was the best man to play him, but they never question the characters status as a super spy in the first place. When we think of Spies we think of him because nobody does it better.
Harrry Palmer -Playing the anti Bond was Micheal Caine. Taking a completely different route to the Bond films, Palmers world was much gritter, and the man himself was a mirror image of 007. With glasses and lacking Bonds class, but certainly not his ruthlessness, Palmer proved himself to be a top spy in his own right.
Austin Powers- the 60s hippest spy, who was frozen only to be defrosted in the late 1990s to fight Dr Evil and his schemes. Powers is a send up of all the great spy movies, with Palmers glasses and Bonds gadgets, but with a charm all of his own. Powers would always save the day, but not before giving us all a good laugh along the way. The Austin Powers movies paid trbiute to creator Mike Myer’s favourite spy films and carved out a niche all of their own.
Jason Bourne. It took alot of money and training to make him the best at what he can do, but the Bourne films begin with him close to death and with amensia. Bond had problems adapting to spying in this new century, but Bourne did, working in the crowds and shadows, but also operating in the open when it was absolutley needed. Tracked by the very people who’d trained him, it was their very training that saved him time and again.
