comment
Bloodless Carnage: By the standards of 21st-century action movies, there's very little blood or gore visible in this movie (an echo of the original series, where almost nobody was ever shown bleeding when shot). For example, when Gaby's father is shot in the forehead by Victoria, the audience doesn't see the wound, even when the body is discovered by Napoleon and Illya; also, when Illya fatally stabs Alexander Vinceguerra during their climactic fight, Alexander bleeds from the mouth but the actual wound in his body can't be seen.

You Are Already Dead: A totally epic variation. During Solo's last conversation with Victoria, she explains how she's going to kill him and everyone he knows for killing her husband, and vows this course of action on her husband's soul. Solo replies by telling her that simply by answering the radio signal, she inadvertently set every last piece of action into play and that the fake warhead (Which is a real, though non-nuclear bomb) will be with her before she can make it to shore. She looks up, and BOOM!

Love-Interest Traitor: Subverted with Gaby. We're hit with this later in the film, and while it appears at first that she really is in league with the Big Bad, this is actually just a ploy set up by Waverly, her boss. It doesn't stop Illya from appearing absolutely heartbroken, however.

Adaptational Villainy: Napoleon Solo is depicted as an (almost) amoral Boxed Crook, con artist, liar and thief who can be very self-absorbed and more than a bit of a Jerkass; to a lesser extent, Ilya Kuryakin, who is shown to suffer from bouts of uncontrollable violent anger with a troubled background and more than a bit of a Control Freak. None of this comes from the original show, where both are much more heroic and principled characters from the outset.

comment
Chekhov's Gun: Early on, Illya, while out with Gaby, has his most precious possession, his father's watch, stolen by goons working for the Vinceguerra operation (nearly causing his Berserk Button to be jammed down). Napoleon recovers the watch later on and gives it back to Illya at a crucial moment near the end of the film, completely defusing what could have been a bloody showdown and starting a beautiful friendship instead. Also, the tracking device that was put in Victoria's second, non-nuclear warhead is later placed into the missile that's used to destroy Victoria's boat - and the nuclear warhead that she's about to deliver to the Nazi submarine. The "glitch" in Rudi's torture device comes to timely use when it comes to getting rid of Uncle Rudy. Gaby's second engagement ring is revealed to have been bugged. Misfired during an infiltration. It's not the same watch, but the mistake does lead to them finding the secret vault. The comedy and fanservice antics with the tracking devices sets up their serious use later on.

comment
Mythology Gag: The "UNCLE Special" makes an appearance in the Storming the Castle scene. Kuryakin wears his iconic black turtleneck at one point. The soundtrack features a track called "The Vinciguerra Affair." Every episode of the TV series was named "The [Example] Affair." Kuryakin's fashion knowledge references his retirement occupation from the reunion films. His insistence on dressing Gaby for their undercover mission is possibly a nod to the 1983 movie The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E.: The Fifteen Years Later Affair, in which Illya has quit U.N.C.L.E. to become a successful fashion designer. Illya's dossier states that he's proficient in Judo and Sambo. Judo was his main martial skill in the TV show. When Napoleon sees some chemistry between Gaby and Illya, he purposely leaves them alone with each other. This is a reference to how Napoleon in the original series, would often take interest in the love lives of others, and enjoyed playing matchmaker.

The second as Solo and Kuryakin discuss what to do with Uncle Rudi, blissfully oblivious to the man burning up in his faulty electric torture device.

Bilingual Bonus: During the raid at Vinciguerra, Illya takes too long bypassing a locked door, prompting Napoleon to do it for him. When Napoleon snarks at his lack of lockpicking skills, Illya mutters "Suca" under his breath (He said it silently enough that you can only know through subtitles.) "Suca" is Russian for "Bitch," and is also slang for someone who works in organized crime that reforms and joins the law, which is surprisingly accurate to Napoleon's current CIA career.

Artifact Title: There is no character in the movie who can be described by the phrase "the man from UNCLE"; UNCLE doesn't exist until the epilogue, and there's no one man the film is about. The title is taken from the show, which was itself an artifact title once Kuryakin got promoted to co-lead.

comment
Hidden Depths: For someone established as a Terminator-esque brute, Illya demonstrates a refined knowledge of haute couture in the scene in the Berlin shop where he and Napoleon are bickering over how Gaby should be dressed. (This bit might also be seen as a Mythology Gag to the 1983 TV movie, "The Fifteen Years Later", where Illya is described as having taken up high-fashion design after leaving U.N.C.L.E.). He's also a chess master, photographer, powerboater and wrestling champion. Underneath his charming exterior, Solo's a bit of a Smug Snake (making overconfident comments about the alarm, being particularly snippy to Illya about fashion and Soviet matters, which he clearly wouldn't know about as an outsider, as well as being a Jerk with a very well hidden heart of gold).

Kissing Under the Influence: Downplayed to an Almost Kiss. The first Almost Kiss by Illya and Gaby happens at the end of a chain of events that started with Gaby making a serious effort at drinking an entire bottle of vodka all by herself. The reason it's an almost kiss is because she passes out before their lips connect.

When Napoleon sees some chemistry between Gaby and Illya, he purposely leaves them alone with each other. This is a reference to how Napoleon in the original series, would often take interest in the love lives of others, and enjoyed playing matchmaker.

Actor Allusion: While Freeze-Frame Bonus allows the viewers to enjoy mythology gags in Ilya's and Napoleon's dossiers, Alicia Vikander's training as a professional ballet dancer is alluded to in Gaby's dossier. Jared Harris's Saunders (along with his KGB counterpart) ends a meeting by signaling for everyone else in the cafe to leave as well. He did the same thing as Professor Moriarty in Ritchie's previous film Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Henry Cavill (Superman) refers to Kuryakin as "Super Agent".

Overt Agent: Kuryakin is introduced quite noticeably watching Solo. It's a set up so while Solo is distracted, the border guard can plant a tracer on his luggage. However, the trope is also played straight for Illya on several occasions: Punching a mugger in the throat despite pretending to be a harmless civilian architect. Uncle Rudi comments on his physical form. Starting a fight in the mens' room to vent his anger at Uncle Rudi. It is later implied this is what first made the Vinciguerras suspicious of them.

Mission Briefing: Several, in fact. Illya is briefed on Napoleon, complete with a Kodachrome slide show (which of course has one slide upside down). After teaming up, Napoleon and Illya are briefed together on the Vinciguerra family (this time with a manila folder). Later, Napoleon briefs Gaby about the plan to infiltrate the Vinciguerra estate. Napoleon's CIA handler, Sanders, and Illya's KGB handler, Oleg, serve as the Mr. Exposition.

Kuryakin also fits the bill, seeing as he joined the KGB and became, not only their youngest agent, but their best after only 3 years. Potentially a Broken Ace, as despite the veneer of ace-ness, he is mentally unstable and is both shamed and threatened by his superiors in after his father was sent to the Gulag.

Friend-or-Idol Decision: Both Napoleon and Illya get this toward the end of the movie: each of them get an order to retrieve the tape of information at all cost, and if necessary, kill the other one to do so. Yet to kill each other would mean killing a man they've come to respect. After Napoleon gives Illya his father's watch (that he got off one of the mooks) they decided to just burn the tape together instead. This is when Waverly comes to them with another job offer.

comment
Underneath his charming exterior, Solo's a bit of a Smug Snake (making overconfident comments about the alarm, being particularly snippy to Illya about fashion and Soviet matters, which he clearly wouldn't know about as an outsider, as well as being a Jerk with a very well hidden heart of gold).

comment
Spy Fiction: Of the Dirty Martini type, the film's strong sense of style and glamour evoke the Martini flavor in the most classic sense; however Solo and Kuryakin's bosses are much more Stale Beer in nature, from attire to attitude. Even the CIA's safehouse in West Berlin is a bit run down. As well as Solo's entire reason for being in the CIA, being a Boxed Crook, make him a Stale Beer Spy wearing a Martini Spy's clothes.

Artistic License – History: Illya's superiors threaten to send him to the Gulag if he fails. However, this threat makes no sense, as the film is set in June, 1963 at the earliest, as shown by John F. Kennedy's American University Speech playing on Solo's TV at one point, which he gave on the 10th of June, 1963. The Gulags were shut down on the 25th of January, 1960, meaning Illya couldn't have been sent to themnote Well, he could, but pretty much all of the ones that weren't abandoned had become normal, if extremely remote, towns by then.

Friendly Enemy: Downplayed with Solo and Kurayakin's bosses. While Solo and Kuryakin bicker and fight, their bosses are rather civil and cooperative to each other, even heartily shaking hands and being on a First-Name Basis. Of course, they're more than willing to immediately backstab the other when the mission looks like it's succeeding, but on a personal level they're still friendly.

Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Uncle Rudi wears glasses (sometimes accessorized with removable shades when he's outdoors). In the torture scene, he talks in a perfectly affable, scholarly manner with Napoleon about his horrific career and how he plans to take color photographs of Solo's slow death by electrocution while his glasses glint in a thoroughly disturbing way.

Just after Kuryakin and Gaby are mugged by Victoria's men to see if they really are who they say they are, the hotel concierge shows up at Solo's door with complementary champagne the hotel forgot to give when he first checked it. When Solo asks her to join him, she's very nervous, suggesting the drink is poisoned. It turns out to be normal champagne and an excuse for Solo to continue to be The Casanova.

Boxed Crook: Why Solo's in the CIA's employment; for all intents and purposes, he was a Gentleman Thief with an exemplary war record who the CIA recognized as a natural for post-war espionage. Ilya believes that Solo's continued excellence as a spy is the result of him trying to get some control over his life. Solo's first scene after the East Berlin mission is him trying to end his CIA employment, with his bosses bringing up his lengthy prison sentence that they're happy to force on him. Especially since they're fully aware that he hasn't actually reformed, they're just turning a blind eye to his thefts while he's useful to them.

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Napoleon Solo is the Blue Oni (a suave and analytical CIA operative) and Illya Kuryakin is the Red Oni (a hot-blooded KGB agent who often seems to be only just keeping his emotions in check).

comment
Sharp-Dressed Man: Napoleon is almost always beautifully dressed in elegant, bespoke three-piece suits, except when he's wearing the appropriate gear for infiltrating or assaulting an enemy stronghold - and he looks really good in those outfits, too. Lampshaded by Gaby as soon as they meet: Illya, as befits a proper Soviet secret agent, dresses in a more "proletarian" manner, but his clothes are well-fitting and well-tailored; on one occasion, he rocks the black turtleneck sweater that was so indelibly associated with the character in the original show. Both men have a keen sense of women's fashion as well, as demonstrated in the Berlin haute-couture shop scene.

Then he's revealed to be a Nazi sadist who tortures Solo. When he burns to death in his own torture chair neither Solo, Kuryakin or the audience appears to spare a damn for him.

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness Once Victoria has a completed bomb and the files detailing how to make more, she kills Professor Teller.

Solo and Kuryakin attempt to get on each other's nerves while getting acquainted. Solo talks about the bad reputation Kuryakin's parents endured, while Kuryakin brings up Solo's criminal background. Solo wins, causing an angry Kuryakin to flip a table. This continues to be a problem for Kuryakin throughout the mission, such as when he beats up Count Lippi and his pals as Percussive Therapy.

Split Screen: When Napoleon and Illya infiltrate the Vinciguerra factory, Napoleon goes to one part and Illya the other. The screen is then stylistically halved (or thirded) to show what each man is up to. Split screen is also used in the Storming the Castle scene, enabling the focus to remain on the subsequent Chase Scene between our heroes and the villain.

Foreshadowing: In the intro, it's shown that Gaby is an excellent driver and surprisingly coolheaded under fire. Which makes sense as she's herself an SIS operative. Waverly is seen early at the Plaza Hotel, but not focused on as Solo is more concerned with the henchmen in the lobby. When Gaby places a call to a room in the hotel that is neither hers nor Solo's, deduction would show she's calling Waverly, before The Reveal of her status as an agent.

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: The guards of Vinciguerra's factory never land a single shot on Solo and Kuryakin during their escape. Especially amusing how the guys on the patrol boat fail to hit Kuryakin's boat for a good 10 minutes while Solo calmly watches from a truck. They do eventually destroy it, though, and would have gotten its driver too if Solo hadn't intervened.

The movie both invokes and inverts the When Harry Met Svetlana: Gaby is the British agent, though still German Harry, Illya is the Svetlana complete with a pronounced Russian accent.

Publicly Discussing the Secret: Subverted; the KGB and CIA spymasters are briefing the protagonists in a cafe, announce they're going to leave them alone to get acquainted, and get up to leave...along with everyone else in the cafe, as all the other customers are their agents. Played straight when the trio discusses their mission and cover stories in/on the street outside the West Berlin fashion boutique and outside the hotel in Rome. Deliberately invoked by Napoleon on several occasions to troll Illya.

Bathroom Brawl: Two of them. When CIA agent Napoleon Solo and KGB operative Ilya Kuryakin are first introduced to each other for a special joint-forces mission, it's in a public restroom in a park. The two have a history, and they knock down most of the stalls in their initial tussle before their handlers intervene to keep Kuryakin from choking Solo. The second occurs at a party thrown by villainous Victoria Vinciguerra. After being insulted by his fake fiance's uncle, Kuryakin slips away to a bathroom for a moment of peace and quiet. When three young Italian aristocrats prevent him from using the sink and tell him to use the ladies' washroom instead, he roughs them up to blow off some steam.

Epic Fail: Illya's attempt to discuss Italian architecture with Gaby doesn't go well. He claims the Spanish Steps were really built by a Russian architect who supposedly died during construction, and that the number of steps was equal to her age. Gaby points out that there are 135 steps. Illya tries to cover by claiming that the architect was 35 and his mother was 100, leading Gaby to ask if the woman had given birth at age sixty-five. Fortunately for Illya, he's saved from digging himself a deeper hole by Solo's arrival.

The Ace: Solo is the CIA's top agent, a stylish man, and both The Casanova and The Charmer. Although the end credits sequence does note him as a serial womanizer. Deconstructed in that Solo's a Boxed Crook who really doesn't want to work for the CIA and would rather go back to living life as a carefree Gentleman Thief. He also is shown to be a bit of a narcissist, having trouble adapting for other cultures and styles (like when dressing Gaby), and getting petty with others. Then reconstructed as because he hates his CIA bosses blackmailing him into working for him, he worked hard to be The Ace as a way to spite them. Kuryakin also fits the bill, seeing as he joined the KGB and became, not only their youngest agent, but their best after only 3 years. Potentially a Broken Ace, as despite the veneer of ace-ness, he is mentally unstable and is both shamed and threatened by his superiors in after his father was sent to the Gulag.

Cool Cars: Played straight - when Napoleon pulls away a car cover to find a small dune-buggy-thing, he seems to disprove and moves onto another covered vehicle hoping it'd be more his style. That one turns out to be an even larger, more powerful version of the dune-buggy-thing, which he goes with.note The production crew dubbed it "The Rock Crawler." Seven feet wide, four wheel drive, all terrain vehicle in every sense of the word. He uses it on flat land, uphill through slippery mud, over broken trees, and even hydroplanes it through a river. Played with in the opening chase scene using a (anachronistic) Trabant 601 and Wartburg 1000, both decidedly not cool cars in reputation — but they've both been rigged to be much more capable than they should be.

Early on, Illya, while out with Gaby, has his most precious possession, his father's watch, stolen by goons working for the Vinceguerra operation (nearly causing his Berserk Button to be jammed down). Napoleon recovers the watch later on and gives it back to Illya at a crucial moment near the end of the film, completely defusing what could have been a bloody showdown and starting a beautiful friendship instead. Also, the tracking device that was put in Victoria's second, non-nuclear warhead is later placed into the missile that's used to destroy Victoria's boat - and the nuclear warhead that she's about to deliver to the Nazi submarine.

Break Them by Talking: The film makes it clear that Illya is by far the superior agent in terms of physicality, as such, variations of this tactic become Solo's signature throughout the film; his gift as The Charmer gives him the skill to accurately find and push nearly anyone's Berserk Button. He does this to Illya because he's a Troll, on a more serious note Waverly acknowledges this skill in the finale and gives Solo the task of talking to Victoria and keeping her on the comm long enough for a missile lock on..

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: The very drunk Gaby convinces Illya to dance with her, then slaps Illya twice and attacks him with no provocation or justification whatsoever. While the slaps visibly upset Illya (he'd just been forced to take a humiliating slap from muggers), the overall scene is Played for Laughs and ends with Illya accepting what he thinks is a romantic advance from Gaby. The pair go on have sexual chemistry through the rest of the film. There's no way the scene could have played in a mainstream film with the genders reversed.

Stronger Than They Look: Gaby. After getting drunk and misunderstanding a comment by Illya as a challenge to wrestle, the shot cuts to the hallways where various sounds of crashing can be heard for quite a while. Cut back to Gaby pinning Illya down, and he's having some problems breaking from her grasp. Considering she passes out second's later, she might be weaker there than she really is.

Shout-Out

comment
Shout-Out: One of Kuryakin's victims in the bathroom brawl is Italian aristocrat Count Lippi, who is up to no good. Perhaps he's Count Lippe, a villain and an Italian aristocrat from Thunderball, published and set around the same time, seen there at a health clinic recovering. If so, it wouldn't be the first Bond reference the film uses—Napoleon Solo started out life as a minor character in Goldfinger. Also, it is mentioned that Waverly holds the rank of Commander in British Naval Intelligence which is the same rank that James Bond holds. Illya's clothing and hairstyle are virtually identical to Erik Lehnsherr's◊ from X-Men: First Class, which is also set in The '60s.

Slap-Slap-Kiss: Or Slap Slap Almost Kiss, in the dance scene between Gaby and Illya. There's a remarkably literal version when Gaby drunkenly gets Illya to dance with her. She takes the unenthusiastic Illya's hand and makes him slap himself. She then wrestles him to the ground, where they Almost Kiss, but Gaby passes out before anything happens, much to Illya's chagrin.

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: When Illya and Napoleon finally see Uncle Rudi on fire from his own torture device they're rather blasé. Solo's only expression of annoyance is that he left his suit jacket in the room. Earlier, Solo's casual viewing, while having a snack, of Kuryakin's fiery boat chase.

Red Herring: Ruined by Trailers Always Spoil, but Waverly is introduced at the Vinciguerra party, being quite chummy with the bad guys. He's a good guy in the end. That there's a backup of the tape the CIA and KGB want Napoleon and Illya to get respectively, bringing up the possibility that they both might get a copy and not possibly have to kill each other. Then one copy gets blown up with Victoria. Just after Kuryakin and Gaby are mugged by Victoria's men to see if they really are who they say they are, the hotel concierge shows up at Solo's door with complementary champagne the hotel forgot to give when he first checked it. When Solo asks her to join him, she's very nervous, suggesting the drink is poisoned. It turns out to be normal champagne and an excuse for Solo to continue to be The Casanova.

Male Gaze: After Solo sleeps with the Italian hotel concierge (with a surprisingly good reason to),note  Napoleon was just minding his own business, when the concierge came to his room with complementary champagne. Because of the very real possibility of Victoria having drugged the champagne which happened late in the movie, Solo made her stay and drink it with him. Things led to things, and... you know... she gets out of bed, where both Solo and the camera get a nice shot of her walking away with her back toward the camera, wearing nothing but some white lace panties.

Reconstruction
 The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) / int_e50987a9
comment
Reconstruction: Of '60s spy-fi. With spy fiction in general taking a deconstruction-heavy turn since the start of the 21st century in part thanks to the Bourne films and most adaptations of '60s spy shows (i.e. I Spy, the 1998 Avengers film) played for self-parody and comedy, this averts that. The seriousness of the Cold War is played straight (with the CIA and KGB presented in a very Stale Beer nature), the threat of post-war Western Terrorists treated seriously (with the gadgets and henchmen justified due to their wealth), and simple gadgets, but also showing how more Martini-flavored agents work in the Cold War, and how they're best equipped to deal with the most dangerous threats. Yes, they're a Boxed Crook and soldier-turned-spy with a dark past, but because they're the best in their agencies, they have numerous talents and Hidden Depths, elevating them beyond simple plants in a city or intel gatherers. Even the cinematography and subtitles mimic the look of '60s spy films.

Offhand Backhand: While being mugged, Kuryakin briefly snaps and punches one of the thugs who's standing behind him. In the throat.

The Mengele: Uncle Rudi, in what's arguably the film's darkest turn - he's got a special page reserved in his scrapbook just for the shiny new color pictures of experiments on Solo.

Inevitable Mutual Betrayal
 The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) / int_f1a6c4f8
comment
Inevitable Mutual Betrayal: An American and a Russian are working together to take down a third party and recover information which could give whoever has it the edge over pretty much anyone else. Given relations between the Soviets and American at the time, you know it's going to come down to this. The agents ultimately don't follow through with it because they've become fire-forged friends, and then they're officially teamed up in a joint taskforce.

Played with in the opening chase scene using a (anachronistic) Trabant 601 and Wartburg 1000, both decidedly not cool cars in reputation — but they've both been rigged to be much more capable than they should be.

Brick Joke: To escape, Kuryakin jumps out of a three-story window, expecting to land in the water. Solo only hears a thud and a scream. He then does the same a few seconds later... and finds too late that the window was right above a wooden boat dock. Solo tells Kuryakin his bow tie doesn't go with his tuxedo. When we next see Kuryakin, he's ditched the bow tie.
