Spy Kids – Why We Still Love This Over The Top ‘Sci-Spy’ Franchise!

Featured Video

The first Spy Kids franchise films began two decades ago. It’s these family-friendly storylines that inspired a generation of youth to believe they could be just as tough and beautiful as their parents are or were, big kudos to director Robert Rodriguez. What struck the audience most about the “hyped” Sci-Spy was witnessing a family that resembled our own. People have also now drawn the conclusion that Sky Kids is the synonym for classic spy movies till cinema exists. Hold onto your seats because we have got points to back ourselves up!

1. A fabulous production team of Troublemaker Studios

Spy Kids starred Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Danny Trejo, Alan Cummings, and Tony Shalhoub and was written, directed, and produced by Robert Rodriguez. George Clooney even makes a cameo at the end of the film in what is arguably its best segment. It’s a decent film that was always intended to be a ‘smarter’ children’s film that didn’t cater to the new generation. It’s essentially a kid-friendly James Bond camp from the days when Bond could get into fistfights and walk away with his life. You’ve got yourself a winner when you combine this one with 90s technology, moral behavior, and Latinx heritage.

2. The Ultimate Family Film

Spy Kids is always original, elevated, rich in ideas, and full of jaw-dropping comedy, and the more you dig movies, the more you’ll appreciate this bundle of hilarity. The “kidnap and rescue” plot centers around family members who are extremely close. It’s a big hit for both the youngsters and their parents. With Spy Kids on your screen, it’s always family time.

3. Amazing Art Direction, VFX, and locations

Spy Kids is ecstatic at its creation’s originality. It’s a bright, colorful spectacle with a plethora of wildly distinctive settings and visual effects, and it’s smart enough to play outside of the children’s film genre. You can almost imagine writer and director Robert Rodriguez smirking as he devised this, marveling at how effectively his visual effects team captured everything on film.

4. Multi Starrer Cameo

Spy Kids features the most legendary cameos in film history, in addition to an exceptional cast. Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, and Danny Trejo play the main senior characters. Holland Taylor, Ricardo Montalban, Jessica Alba, Sylvester Stallone, Salma Hayek, Ricky Gervais, and Steve Buscemi all had outstanding performances. Selena Gomez, Elijah Wood, Taylor Momsen, and George Clooney all make tiny cameo appearances in the film.

5. Set in the same universe as Machete and Kill Bill

Yes, that’s true! And not only that but it is also linked to Django Unchained and Pulp Fiction. Many of Robert Rodriguez’s and Quentin Tarantino‘s films take place in the same cinematic universe, including related characters. With the exception of a handful that he deems excessively over-the-top, most of Tarantino’s films take place in the same environment. These are set in a “special movie universe,” which means they are legitimate movies set in the same realm as his more realistic flicks.
