** Well actually, even the first one had deaths in it if you include all the agents except English dying in an explosion offscreen at the beginning. This one is barely more serious as it pretty much features comedy throughout the entire film.
* [[Deadly Dodging]]: Part of Johnny's {{spoiler|effortless curbstomp of a whole group of Chinese assailants}}.
* [[Did the Earth Move For You, Too?]]: At the end of the movie, our hero blows up the villain in a big explosion; his [[Love Interest]] sees this and sighs, "Oh, Johnny!"
* [[Evil Old Folks]]: The killer cleaner woman. She tries to kill Johnny English {{spoiler|thrice}}.
* [["Failure to Save" Murder]]: Johnny English is blamed for the murder of Mozambique's president. Of course, he was supposed to be guarding him at the time... {{spoiler|But who could have predicted that his own bodyguard would be mind-controlled to assassinate him?}}
* [[Fake Nationality]]: Johnny, already distressed at seeing MI7 outsourced to Toshiba, might have flipped if he knew his superior was played by an American (Gillian Anderson).
* [[Hero Stole My Bike]]: Johnny in the motorised wheelchair {{spoiler|1=after getting set up by the actual traitor Ambrose, and shot in the leg by MI7, then forced to jack his crippled friend's ride.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Black Adder|Edmund Blackadder]] steals a wheelchair from [[Black Adder|Lord Percy]].
* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: Tucker follows Bough in this department, though not all the time. He displays in some scenes more competence then English, such as correctly pointing the right person to English, only for English to go to the wrong person; identifying the bulletproof umbrella as actually being a rocket launcher, and figuring out that Ambrose was the double agent. But in other scenes, he's even more incompetent than English. Talking on the phone to his mum, and not noticing that a sniper was meters away from him, about to kill their only lead, multiple times letting a enemy agent simply run past him before calling to English, rather then try and stop the agent himself.
* [[Legacy Character]]: Pegasus. While this movie provides a [[Gender Flip]] for the character, both Pegasuses have the same function in both movies.
Line 131:
* [[Oh Crap]]: Johnny has one when {{spoiler|he realizes he just drank a glass of wine laced with the mind-controlling drugs}}.
* [[Recurring Element]]: {{spoiler|An old Chinese lady assassin who disguises herself as a cleaning lady kills the main members of the terrorist group Vortex. Aside from the attacks on Johnny and Vortex, she is also noticeable for one more little detail: Johnny ends up attacking other old women who he thinks is the assassin. This includes Pegasus' mother and the ''freaking Queen''! And with a serving tray no less!}}
* [[Rewind, Replay, Repeat]]: Kate checks CCTV footage recorded before an assassination, revealing an important clue.
* [[Spoiler Title]]: This movie features {{spoiler|Johnny cheating death after accidentally drinking the mind-control device that kills its victims. In the process, he is "reborn" by a kiss from Kate.}}
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Johnny. The training with Tibetan monks paid off rather well.
Line 137:
* [[Twitchy Eye]]: Whenever Mozambique is mentioned.
* [[Under the Truck]]: Johnny pulls one off on a motorised wheelchair.
* [[We Named the Monkey "Jack"]]: Pegasus' cat is named Philby, presumably as a [[Take That]] against Kim Philby who was one member of the group of [[Double Agent|double agents]] known as the Cambridge Five.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: Patch Quartermain (Tim McInnerny, Rowan Atkinson's [[Black Adder]] co-star) disappears after his wheelchair is stolen.
