Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film is primarily an action-comedy focused on entertainment, with its themes of national security and individual heroism being generic to the spy genre rather than serving an explicit political agenda.
The movie features visible diversity in its lead casting, consistent with the established dynamic from its source material. However, its narrative, typical of an action-comedy, does not explicitly engage with or critique traditional identities or make DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
The film features Rachel Wright, a secret agent, who engages in and wins a close-quarters physical fight against a male opponent. She uses martial arts to defeat him.
The film 'I Spy' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate, and the net impact is determined to be N/A according to the rubric.
The film 'I Spy' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its plot focuses on espionage and action, with no narrative elements or character portrayals related to transsexual identity.
The 2002 film "I Spy" adapts the 1960s television series. The two main protagonists, Kelly Robinson and Alexander Scott, retain their original male genders from the source material. No other significant characters were established as a different gender in prior canon and then portrayed as another gender in this adaptation.
The 2002 film "I Spy" is an adaptation of the 1960s television series. The two main characters, Kelly Robinson and Alexander Scott, are portrayed by actors of the same race as their original counterparts (Owen Wilson as white Kelly Robinson, Eddie Murphy as Black Alexander Scott). No character's established race was changed.
