Plot hole: OK, a good laugh but why on earth deploy HMS Vengeance as a guard vessel to the G12 conference? Surfaced submarines are pretty exposed and useless against any likely threat, compared to a frigate or destroyer with SAMs, guns, small arms etc. And if the plot device is to have her launch a missile, Vengeance (as named and pictured) only carries torpedoes and Trident ballistic missiles, so hitting Volta's yacht with a missile wouldn't blow it up, more vaporise the whole area, even if it could attack something at such short range.
Johnny English Strikes Again (2018)
2 plot holes - chronological order
Directed by: David Kerr
Starring: Emma Thompson, Rowan Atkinson, Olga Kurylenko, Jake Lacy
Continuity mistake: When English, Bough and his wife are looking at Garroch Castle from the submarine, Bough's wife says to English, "Jeremy has always spoken very highly of you." However, in the first Johnny English film, it was established that Bough's first name is Angus.
Bough: Sir! Wonderful to see you!
Johnny English: Yes, all right, Bough. We're going on a mission, not a honeymoon.
Trivia: The opening, which sees Johnny English accidentally killing the three other retired agents in a small explosion caused by a detonating pen, directly parallels the first Johnny English film. In the first film, Johnny English is responsible for the deaths of all the secret agents after a (larger scale) explosion at a funeral. He also accidentally paralyses Pegasus' secretary using a pen that shoots tranquiliser darts. Other parallels include Agent Bough returning and the duo visiting France.
