YMMV / Agent Cody Banks

Go To

  • Contested Sequel: The sequel is considered inferior to the first film, but it has its fair share of fans.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: People tend to watch Destination London to see Hannah Spearitt's role in the film.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The nanobots from the first movie, who can not only consume any solid matter, but can also consume humans. The Big Bad gets an ice cube full of them shoved in his mouth in the finale and we see a quick glimpse of him being devoured from the inside out.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Alfie Allen had a small role in Destination London as a student.
  • Signature Scene:
    • Agent Ronica Miles strolling into a boys locker room to activate Cody for his mission, the nanobot kill, and the chaotic driving class are the most discussed and iconic scenes of the first film.
    • The scenes with the exploding Mentos are the most frequently remembered scenes of the second movie, particularly when Cody humiliates himself by mistaking a regular mint for one of those Mentos, and Derek uses his chef skills to cut the precise amount of Mentos to cause a non-fetal explosion to remove a mind control device implanted in Cody's tooth.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: The nanobots consuming any solid material on a glass container.
  • What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? Cody's adult partner provides a good bit of Fanservice, and the action scenes are pretty intense (the movie was cut for a 12A rating in the UK). This is partly why the sequel had to be toned down for its PG rating.
