The film is a comedic parody of spy thrillers, with its central conflicts revolving around a cartoonish villain's world domination plots and the hero's personal quest for his 'mojo.' Its themes are overwhelmingly apolitical, focusing on humor, character dynamics, and genre tropes rather than promoting any specific political ideology.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast with no intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative centers on a white male protagonist and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or incorporate DEI themes as central to its plot.
The film uses effeminate male characters, particularly Mustafa, as sources of comedic ridicule. While not explicitly identifying characters as LGBTQ+, the humor derived from their non-traditional masculinity contributes to a problematic depiction. This portrayal relies on stereotypes, presenting these characteristics as subjects of mockery rather than with dignity or complexity.
The film features female characters like Felicity Shagwell and Ivanna Humpalot who participate in action sequences. However, their engagements with male opponents primarily involve firearms or comedic struggles, not clear victories achieved through skill, strength, or martial arts in close-quarters physical combat.
All returning characters from the previous installment maintain their established gender. New characters introduced in this film do not have a prior canonical gender to swap from, thus no gender swaps occur.
This film is a sequel in an original comedy series. No established characters from prior installments or source material had their race changed. New characters introduced in this film do not qualify as race swaps.
