Johnny English Movies: Release Order
The Johnny English trilogy offers a fun viewing experience with Rowan Atkinson as the incompetent but well-meaning MI7 agent who parodies the James Bond franchise. These three comedy films follow English's career from his initial promotion to top agent through his disgrace and eventual comeback, creating a loose but consistent character arc.
While each film works perfectly as a standalone comedy, watching in release order provides the best experience for enjoying character references, running gags, and English's satirical journey through the world of British espionage.
