History YMMV / TheManFromUNCLE2015

* CriticalResearchFailure: Illya, when he apparently doesn't know what an aircraft carrier is. However, he might be excused since the Soviet Navy did not employ aircraft carriers until the mid-1980s.
** The aircraft carrier appears to be a British Centaur-class light fleet carrier, possibly the ''HMS Hermes'' from 1959 (which is still deployed today by the Indian Navy as the ''INS Viraat'').

* CultClassic: While the film has been unsuccessful at the box office and received mixed reviews from critics, it has gained a very enthusiastic fanbase on the net, especially on places like Website/{{tumblr}}.

** Vinciguerra's husband is likewise good-looking, though less competent. Even Gaby seems to enjoy his attentions somewhat; too bad he's a Nazi.
*** [[CompletelyMissingThePoint Well]], an [[UsefulNotes/FascistItaly Italian fascist...]].

* HilariousInHindsight: Armie Hammer was cast as Franchise/{{Batman}} in George Miller's canceled-at-the-last-minute 2008 ''Justice League: Mortal''. Now, he works alongside Creator/HenryCavill, who plays Franchise/{{Superman}} in the DCExtendedUniverse. So, this film can be seen as [[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice Batman vs Superman]].

* HoYay: The film comes complete with a top/bottom joke and Napoleon saying things like 'we act like this never happened'. The chemistry between the two male leads has been remarked on by many reviewers, and Armie Hammer himself has [[https://youtu.be/aNULDbOg27g?t=3m09s repeatedly]] [[https://youtu.be/coQ-8ejfHuQ?t=1m45s commented]] that the two are 'in love'.
** The boat chase scene is filled with this [[BilingualBonus if you know Italian]], since the background music is a love song.

* TrailerJokeDecay: The "America teaming up with Russia. That doesn't sound very friendly." phrase by Gaby Teller is repeated in almost every trailer, taking the humor out of it.

* SignatureScene: Whether you like the film or not, both critics and audiences agree that the penultimate scene, the one with the car chase between the [=ATV=], jeep, and the motorcycle, is the best in the film, with it's use of changing camera angles and music that makes it seem straight out of a video game.

** She doesn't even say the whole phrase together in the movie! It's like the way Sherlock Holmes never said in the stories "Elementary, my dear Watson." Gaby says "America teaming up with Russia" during the scene to pick out her clothes for the mission. She says "That doesn't sound very friendly." '''much''' earlier, during her first scene with Solo, in fact. And she's referring to something completely different.

* BloodyHilarious: [[spoiler: Rudi dies a painful, horrible death from electrocution while Solo and Illya talk in the next room, oblivious to what's going on.]]

* FunnyMoments: [[spoiler: Rudi getting electrocuted while Solo and Illya talk about what to do with Rudi.]]

* NightmareFuel: The truth behind Uncle Rudi. The film briefly takes a sudden turn for the dark...Josef Mengele kinds of dark.

** The number playing over the newspaper montage at the start sets the tone quite well.
