Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Trivia

Do we really need all that trivia stuff in the article? It should be shortened or rewritten into other parts of the article.

I think the trivia is fine as it is. It could be shortened or rewritten into other parts of the article - but a lot of the information there is already in the main article. Thebestkiano 16:49, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

removed financial detail thing

I deleted this from the article:

Despite its international popularity with audiences [1], especially in its native Britain, the spy spoof was financially unsuccessful in the United States, where it was released on July 18, 2003 to lukewarm acclaim from critics. As far as the aforementioned and the film's ending are concerned, it is unknown if a sequel will ever be made.

because I think it's irretrievably US-centric, which Will Not Do for an article about a British film made in Britain starring British actors written by British writers and set in Britain. How are British people an "international audience" for such a film? But remove the US POV and you're not left with much, so I figured it was easier to just remove it altogether and explain myself here. --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 08:08, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I Think you will find that virtually every reference to 'this' country in the film is to England, rather than Britain. So I would think its popularity would be more popular with an an English audience rather than a general British one.

but I think you will find that England is not a country, but the UK is, so you're point actually... well... isnt one. England is a country the UK is a group of countries. Common misconception. - I think you'll find that there's a parliament for Britain, not for England. The parliament for the United Kingdom is the only full parliament in the COUNTRY of the UK, it is the government of the UK, no other part of the UK has its own FULL government. Until that happens, England, N. Ireland, Scotland and Wales are merely provinces (give or take) of the UK. I suggest you do your homework before confusing things unnecessarily.

Detailed summary

Is this really necessary? --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\^talk 01:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There being no answer to this, I've gone ahead and removed it. --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\^talk 16:45, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Plot section needs rewrite

I added a rewrite tag to the plot section because some of the details of the plot are mixed up. Furthermore, there is no mention of Lorna Cambell or Pegasus, and Johnny English did not infiltrate Sauvage's chateau on his own, he had help from Lorna. Could somebody please fix the plot section? 205.251.53.132 01:46, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If no one fixes it soon, I will try to fix it myself. 205.251.53.6 01:38, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing the details of the plot section. I fixed the details of English infiltrating Sauvage's chateau. I also removed the rewrite tag, this section is fine now. 205.251.54.235 16:21, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did a bit of fixing yesterday to get it down in length, and removed the tag, as I think the work done by all constitutes a successful rewrite. --Sonicdrewdriver (talk) 11:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sequel?

Is there a sequel or not? the intro paragraph says there is one being worked on, but the section "Rumors" says otherwise.

Plot

At the end of the plot section, it says: ""Oh Fu" says Johnny and the credits roll." Does this bit contribute to the article? I have added a comment before it in the source. manadude2 (talk) 14:51, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

English?

Is "to be a little bit English" like "to be a little bit clumsy" or at least "a little bit lubberly"? Maybe in the US? How sounds the name "Johnny English" to a native speaker? Why was that name chosen for this clumsy fellow? Thanks for any comment. --Efficiency (talk) 12:34, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Probably an ironic take on 'Johnny Foreigner', a patronising way to refer to the non-English. Speculation unacceptable in the article, of course. Rothorpe (talk) 15:15, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Johnny English Reborn

We link to the new movie isn't in the infobox but it is in the code. I don't know how to fix this. --AvatarTeam - Talk with me? 22:12, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

'Sir' Johnny English

I note that the name of Atkinson's character has just been changed to "Sir Johnny English" from "Johnny English". Is this correct? It is only mentioned in passing at the end of the movie, and he is otherwise credited as "Johnny English" on IMDB. I don't have a copy of the film to hand, so would appreciate if someone could check the credits on this to clear this up. Many thanks --Sonicdrewdriver (talk) 12:11, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pardon?

What on earth does this mean: " In a mid-credits scene, Lorna lands in a hotel swimming pool where Bough there is vacationing alongside a man very identical to the fictitious assailant English described to Pegasus earlier in the film. " Can someone who knows what it's supposed to say rewrite it in English? 86.129.73.223 (talk) 23:22, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
