The theme is the British Tevere department

The feature of the British people in this film is that apart from picking up girls, all other reasons (national security, spies, war, etc.) must not interrupt me talking about cricket.

A political satire of Buddhist films wrapped in suspense under the cover of comedy.

The setting is that the female protagonist is a enthusiastic British girl, so she is willing to be nosy. The male protagonist is a British journalist and wants to be a female protagonist, so she helps the female lead nosy. Other British people are not willing to be nosy, only willing to talk about cricket.

The basic experience is that the hostess and an old lady were walking with each other on the train, and the old lady disappeared strangely in the middle of the train, and the entire train denied the existence of the old lady. The British people are afraid of trouble, but the Buddha pretends to agree that the old lady does not exist. The male lead who obviously likes the female lead accompanies the female lead in various ways to find people in the car. The Italian tried to stop the male and female couple in a funny way, but failed. The German doctor villain's mastermind took the opportunity to drug the male and female protagonist. Unexpectedly, the half-British assistant turned back on the way and asked the male and female protagonist to rescue the old lady. So the Eastern European villains sent people to arrest people and started a gun battle. The British in the car finally had to fight back in self-defense. The old lady admitted that she was a British spy, and she passed the information in the music melody to the male protagonist (hey hey hey, it’s not important information, so it’s okay to convey it), and then she just jumped into the car. The heroine and the heroine finally got married, and the fiance of the heroine was greened. The male protagonist began to memorize Buddhist information to convey music and melody information to the British government. It took a few days to find the government to convey the message (hey, hey, why so long). At this time, the old spy lady has been successfully resurrected.

A little metaphor I guess:

The Italians still acted as accomplices who are not funny and not very useful. Just like in World War II.

The obvious German name of the villain doctor is the mastermind. Just like in World War II.

The British judge left his mistress on the train and raised white handkerchiefs, but they were immediately killed by the "Eastern European" police. Slightly like Chamberlain.

I think the biggest easter egg is the heroic spy old lady, the colossus Queen of England!
