Whether in Luc Besson's film or in the TV series of the same name, Nikita's image is more inclined to a lone killer, elegant and cold-blooded, although she works for the country, she is involuntarily and subject to others, so when she enters the society with a new identity, she cannot start a new life with her loved ones as she wishes, but needs to face more lies and bloodshed.
She is also a woman who wants to love and cannot, because of the special identity, her love has been in a twist and turn, especially in the TV series encountered the greatest resistance, but whether it is the ambiguity of the imminent, the right care, the protection from beginning to end, or the last moment of letting go of the all let this female spy in the love and danger.

▸ Representative works: "Ace Spy", "Ace Spy 2", "Ace Spy 3"
Although Austin was the most prominent agent of the 1960s and defeated "Dr. Evil" again and again to save the world, he is clearly the ugliest and most arrogant spy, a spy with wide-rimmed glasses, crooked teeth, and a fancy dress, who has a natural virtue and is a photographer during the day.
When night comes, he becomes an international spy, going in and out of the "dangerous places" set in various places of sound and color, circling between various large waves of beautiful women - of course, although unrealistic and flawed, the birth of this character is originally a mockery of the spy films popular in the West in the 60s, and Austin's behavior is undoubtedly from the parody of "James Bond".
In fact, Austin really can't be called a "spy" but a real "spy" - he makes vulgar jokes all the time in the film, talks about sex-related topics at any time, and even if he is caught by the enemy, there is no real danger, because the big spy and Dr. Evil are played by Mike Myers, and he just has fun. When a character tells you a story with a mean attitude, although he is obscene, it is not annoying.

The film does not reduce the torture of her because of her female identity, but relies on the torture of her to prompt her to complete the restoration of her memory as soon as possible, thus pushing more plots forward. The film even deliberately ignores her life for a long time after the amnesia, and the audience cannot verify the reality of disappearing after this amnesia, but the final killing of the enemy can also be regarded as a perfect end to her personal spy career.
10. Schott
▸ Starring: Angelina Jolie
▸ Skills: Fighting, Killing, Driving, Poison
▸ Equipment: Pistol
▸ Masterpiece: "Agent Schott"
Schoet is not the first agent to be framed, but she is definitely the first female agent to be arrested by the Korean People's Army for espionage, and the first female agent to marry in love with Zhengdae Guangming, who can enjoy her husband's meticulous care every day and eventually lose her husband.
Of course, because the character was originally designed for Tom Cruise, although he eventually appeared as a woman, the characters will still inadvertently show masculinity between the hands and feet, the chase and fight is a hard-hitting style, and the action scene design is also very old-fashioned.
It is precisely because of Schotter's tragic situation that she is also the most desperate and ruthless in her counterattack, and after she has set out the next step plan of the opponent, she begins to kill. Unlike other spies who save the world or crack conspiracies, a large part of Schotter's actions are driven by the emotion of revenge, which also makes the character slightly inferior in heights, but as a wife, everything she does is understandable.

The film's lead actor, Rowan Atkinson, is famous for bean, and in order to increase the box office, mainland film companies use "Agent Bean" as the translated name of the film, so everyone only knows that there is bean but not Johnny Inglish, which is really the tragic fate of this character.
