Violence is frequent but consistently played for slapstick comedy with no blood or serious injury. Key sequences include English accidentally incapacitating other agents, unknowingly assaulting numerous civilians while in a VR simulation (hitting them with food, punching them, throwing a man from a bus), and a car chase. There are also several failed assassination attempts on an oblivious English, a large fire, and a missile destroying a yacht, all presented in a farcical manner.

Mature themes in Johnny English Strikes Again
Mature themes are largely absent, with moments of peril consistently undercut by comedy. The threat of a missile launch and an explosive device are presented in a farcical, non-frightening context.
