Johnny English prep piece

Johnny English is an anti-hero, this is proven by looking at his brave facade and his obvious lack of conception of the tasks at hand. He mainly falls at becoming like any other spy for instance James Bond because spy's like him usually save the day doing everything in a smooth and skilled way. Where Johnny often fails and injures himself. The reason this is good is he instantly becomes a comic relief because he is a clumsy person who is a bit dimwitted at times. Unlike James Bond who people look up to and want to be. 

Johnny tells the female in the clip to stay back so Johnny can check if it’s safe. The woman tells Johnny to: "be careful out there". Johnny replies with a smooth and calm tone, typical of an action hero saying to her: "He always is" attempting to reassure her. However when he is about to head towards the sewage pipe, he hits his head very hard on it. This is amusing to the audience as it is further enhances the view that he is very clumsy and it makes it more apparent how much of an anti-hero he is.

As I mentioned in the last paragraph, in the extract  Johnny is trying to impress the female character. He is doing this by coming across as brave (when he is attempting to get into the mansion) and trying to show his skill with a weapon (when he waves the gun). He also tries to act heroic when he asks the woman to stay back so he can go first to check is it is safe.
