Napoleon Solo and Ilya Kuryakin – The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015) Just look at how high Coburn can kick, and try to imagine Roger Moore doing the same thing… 23. Coburn gives Flint an easy charm, and he’s highly effective in his combat scenes. Coaxed out of retirement because a superior agent isn’t available (“0008”), Flint’s a quintessentially ’60s spy – unflappable, flirty, and handy with a karate chop. It has a crazed criminal organisation, mad scientists with a dangerous device (in this instance, a weather-altering machine) and, of course, a suave secret agent – James Coburn’s Derek Flint. Long before Top Secret!and Austin Powers, there was Our Man Flint, a send-up of the whole swinging ’60s craze for spy movies. The film’s lightweight stuff, but Chan’s gleeful take on the genre is infectious – a scene where he’s frantically trying to get his high-tech trousers on while simultaneously fighting an army of bad guys is a particular highlight.

Spy Update bears striking similarity to the pose used in several James Bond film posters - the only difference being that the Spy is left-handed in the ad, and Bond always appears right-handed.Jackie Chan affectionately sent up the spy genre with The Tuxedo, in which he plays an ordinary taxi driver who’s transformed by a feat of technological magic into a suave secret agent in the James Bond mold.
