Super-Agente 86 (English: Super Agent 86) is a Mexican sitcom parodying the spy genre, based on the American sitcom Get Smart. Produced by Televisa, Super-Agente 86 stars Mario Castañeda as Miguel Sánchez, the titular Agent 86, alongside Mayrín Villanueva as Agent 99, Roberto "Chespirito" Bolaños as chief of CENTRO "J", and Humberto Velez and Derbez as MUERTE executive Fidel and his assistant Raúl, respectively. The show paid homage to the original in many ways, from Migel Sánchez's initials to a cameo appearance by Smart's dub actor, Jorge Arvizu.
Premise[]
CENTRO is a counterintelligence agency based in Mexico City. Their main enemy is MUERTE, a terrorist organization formed by former members of various intelligence agencies from the Cold War. After a double agent assassinates Super-Agent 21, one of CENTRO's top agents, analyzer Miguel Sánchez is promoted to field agent status as Super-Agent 86, and is partnered with another top agent, 99. Though intelligent, Miguel is clumsy and often in over his head, though he always manages to come out on top.
Characters[]
- Ronaldo Miguel Sánchez y Castañeda: Super-Agent 86 (Mario Castañeda): Miguel Sánchez is the central character of the series. Though intelligent in the analysis field, as a field agent he is clumsy and often in over his head, approaching things by-the-book even when such a thing is inconvenient. However, he is resourceful and often lucky, often managing to win in the end. His favorite gadgets are the iconic shoe-phone, and his miniature pistol, though he always has trouble with the latter. Is the equivalent to Maxwell Smart.
- Super-Agent 99 (Mayrín Villanueva): Miguel Sánchez's partner, one of CENTRO's top agents. Her real name is never revealed, though she is given a handful of aliases over the series. Highly professional, 99 serves as a foil and love interest to Sánchez. She always keeps a compact bomb in her purse, in case of emergencies. Is the equivalent to Agent 99.
- Chief "J" (Roberto "Chespirito" Bolaños): Played by one of Mexico's most famous comedians, J is the head of CENTRO; his name a reference to James Bond's "M". Though respectful of his agents, he is often frustrated by Sánchez's clumsiness, and his insistence on using the Cone of Silence despite it never working. Is equivalent to the Chief of Control.
- Jaime the Robot (Jerry Estrada): An android constructed by MUERTE to infiltrate CENTRO to assassinate Miguel. However, a malfunction caused him to bond with his target, causing him to defect. He eventually became a luchador (inspired by his actor's real-life profession), occasionally helping CENTRO with their missions. He is the equivalent of Hymie the Robot.
- Muerte Leader (Blas Garcia): The mysterious head of MUERTE. His face is never seen, even in cases where it should be. He was a former member of the Soviet KGB, before breaking off and founding his own terrorist organization following Doomsday. The Muerte Leader is an original character, inspired by Blofeld from the James Bond films.
- Fidel Gonzalez (Humberto Velez): A recurring MUERTE executive, Fidel is highly competent and deadly, but short tempered and prone to panicking. Fidel is the equivalent of Siegfried.
- Raúl Hernández (Eugenio Derbez): Fidel's bumbling henchman. Dimwitted and a gutless coward, there's nevertheless a certain charm to Hernandez. The equivalent of Starker.
- Inspector Matsunaga (Akihiro Sato): A Japanese Brazilian detective, who often consults for CENTRO in their South American operation. Though highly competent, he is young and still somewhat naive. The (rough) equivalent of Harry Hoo.
- Narrator (Francisco Colmenero): Get Smart only had a narrator for the pilot. The Super-Agente 86 Narrator has a much bigger role, often adding some comedic commentary to events.
English dubs[]
Super-Agente 86 has been exported to several countries, several of which speak English. This has led to three English dubs being produced. The first was produced by Audiomaster 3000 in Mexico City. This dub featured several of the show's cast dubbing themselves into English and was syndicated throughout North America and the Carribean. A second was produced in the Dominion of South Africa by Port Elizabeth Television. This dub was shown throughout South Africa and featured many actors from the James Bond radio plays. A third was produced in Australia by Pacific Sound. This dub featured singer David McCormack as Sánchez and veteran actor Vernon Wells as the MUERTE Leader; it was largely shown on regional broadcasters throughout Oceania.
