Illya Kuryakin: International Man of Mystery

[Aileil]

First I would like to thank you for making such a marvelous tribute to such an honourable man. Next, I would like to ask you, what the devil was Kuryakin doing running around a forest with a target on his back!? Anyways, good show, fabulous tribute.

[MessiChokesAgain]

He was good but I liked Napolean Solo more as I got older. When I was a kid, I like Illya Kuryakin because he was cool. But now I like Solo more.

[switcherxx]

back in those days, shooting someone was never messy, or painful, If they ever did a modern vrsion of it, that would be a big point. It would be interesting the same way they modernized James Bond, the should do that to Man from UNCLE

[spotsycool]

hahahaha don't be sorry shannonsequiter, it's so popular b/c it's so funny!!!! who doesn't like an excellently well put joke every once in a while?

[ickiepooo]

I had a picture of him framed in my bedroom. . .

[cracktober]

Hahahhaha i like how back in the days, a hot body was a hairy chest and wavy hair.. now it's six pack, "love handles muscles", arm muscles, shoulders, neck, jaw, chin, eyes, hair, legs, shoes, clothes........

[tigerheart3824]

I think I may be adding to your 25K views & climbing...;) Much fun, DMC far too cute for words...

[shithappens17]

it's Ducky!! =D

[forktounge]

what episode is 0:54 from, when gets shot by a dart?

[forktounge]

0:29 WIN!!

[TheAgentDiver]

Boy did Ducky get the ladies when he was young.

[kikeykip]

FUCK YOU GSERIESFAIL

[murielsartre]

He saved a kitten!

[mphs95]

I would love to make an UNCLE video but which program would I use and how?  Anyone?

[Sethrezin]

Damn! David was a real Badass in this show! Very James Bond:)

[sagilady52]

@Sethrezin Better than James Bond, Illya is one cool dude!

[KouroshDK]

Duckyyyyy!!!

[kitti0702]

One of the best MFU vids ever! IK - the original "International Man of Mystery"! Love it!

[tennispink]

lol @ 0:28

[tuxguys]

My 13 year-old daughter (who aspires to be a marine biologist, at least this week) absolutely LOVES NCIS, because of the intelligence of the stories, and the characters... Next to Abby, she thinks "Ducky" Mallard is the coolest character on the show, and finding out about Illya Kuryakin was almost a Road to Damascus moment for her.

Leonard Nimoy deserves every accolade he gets for Spock; David McCallum desrves at least as many accolades for Illya.

[mrsrowdy]

I was SO in love with Illya when I was 12.....

[drruth82]

You go, Dr. Mallard!

[LilyNeurotic]

Which episode is 1:07 from?

[gooberwench]

My mother and I live in different countries but are both addicted to NCIS. She's always on about Ducky and now I can see why... especially the shirt-off scenes.... WOOF!

Thanks also, whoever put this together, for the nice job you did. I wouldn't mind betting old David likes to relive his salad days occasionally.... I would!!

[TheGillypot]

Thank you "the crazy old lady" .....are you really old and are you really crazy?!!!!!

[SingolloLomien]

Does anyone know what episode 0:36 is from?

I love this video. I keep watching it to try and figure out where all the clips are from.

[pixiestikks]

@SingolloLomien 0:36 is from The Come with Me to the Casbah Affair

[SuperBlueGiraffe]

Could someone tell me what episodes 0:58 and 1:14 are from please?

[pixiestikks]

@SuperBlueGiraffe 0:58 = The Thrush Roulette Affair

1:14 = The Hula Doll Affair

[kitti0702]

@SuperBlueGiraffe - it doesn't look like your question was answered re: IK International Man of Mystery. If I stopped the video right, 0:58 is "THRUSH Roulette" from 4th Season. The THRUSH cookoos did a rush programming on IK trying to make him kill Solo. At 1:14, it's "Hula Doll" from 3rd Season. IK used Marge's closet for surveillance on the apartment next door.

[1996azcpa]

Illya the original International Man of Mystery before Austin Powers! And oh so pretty!

[dstar1958]

The Austin Powers music is perfect. Just saw David in The Great Escape. But to me he will always be "Ducky."

[MsZelazny]

So fantastic. The Russian and the vid, that is!

What ep is 1:17 from? That manic grin is beyond adorable!

[kitti0702]

@MsZelazny

"Secret Sceptre" - IK is hiding under the canvas on top of a tour bus after sending a car across a minefield. Nothing like a good explosion!

[passport124]

what affair was 0:56 from please?

[kitti0702]

@passport124

Napoleon's Tomb, I believe.

[vidann1]

I loved that show- Ducky was a cutie.

[ezazahaz]

My friend is trying to get me to start watching this show, and your vid definitely helped. :)

[Saraigate]

GREAT!! I love Illya. he's so funny and handsome. Thanks for posting!

[Ellbell72]

David McCallum is so awesome, I wish he still had that amazing hair!

[sagilady52]

hi still does, only now its a light brown colour, not blond. not bad for a 75 year old man

[TheGillypot]

I USED TO LOVE THIS SHOW AND MOST OF US LOVED ILLA. DIDN'T DAVID McCULLUM DIE A LITTLE WHILE AGO?

[IFavorFire]

@TheGillypot

As far as I know he is very much alive. He plays a character on NCIS.

[thecrazyoldcatlady]

No. He's seventy six, still alive, still healthy. On NCIS. Awesome medical examiner.

[MM2327]

@TheGillypot No, David McCallum is alive and well and starring as Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard on NCIS. Some of us still love Illya, and David McCallum as well.

[sagilady52]

hi which episode is 1.16 from where illya is smiling whilst travelling on a cart. he has such a wonderful smile

[Spiritedshadow]

I was wondering that too :) Beat me to it by about an hour

...it is such a lovely smile

[shannonsequitur]

Looked it up and it's from an episode called "The Secret Scepter Affair". I'm also reasonably certain that it's from right after something blows up, because I think he only smiles that much when he gets to make stuff go boom.

[EmSuperlative]

Aww, Illya's so adorable when he's doing silly things...Solo just can't compare.

He gets my vote for favorite movie Russian, followed by Yuri Zhivago and Mr. Chekov.

Thanks for this clip, it's a gem!

[zzebeddy]

Love the U.N.C.L.E Theory of Relativity at 0.24 .... Illya = MC2.

[TCCNDVJCTU]

First, I want to tell you how much I have enjoyed this video.

Second, do you know which episodes two of your early clips are from? The one where Illya has the blue sash on and the other where he has the hat on and his hands in the air (it reminds me of Ducky's hat). Thanks.

[shannonsequitur]

I went and dug out my Windows Movie Maker project file JUST FOR YOU, so I can tell you that the blue sash is from the episode "The Fiery Angel Affair" and the bullfighting clip (with the hat) is from "The Bat Cave Affair". Hooray for straightforward file naming conventions, and thank you!

[TCCNDVJCTU]

THANK YOU! :)

[zelda7792]

He's the only Russian hero I can think of from back then. Everywhere else you looked they were the main villains of stuff like GI Joe.

Yay, fanservice!

[Sciochick]

David McCallum still has sex appeal 40 years later & is also my fave on NCIS:)

[CertainlySandy]

Eternally delicious Illya! And great vid!

[thevampirefrog06]

Ilya rules! My dad started getting Man From U.N.C.L.E on Netflix, and now I'm addicted. I'm also convinced that the only reason Napoleon is so forward with the ladies is because he knows that if he doesn't get a head start, all the girls will gravitate naturally to Ilya's superior awesomeness.

While all my friends are obsessed over NCIS, I don't think they'd understand if I told them I thought Ducky was the hottest guy on the show.

[norrox125]

@thevampirefrog06 i always try and tell my friends that he was really hot and they always just look at me like i am crazy cause he is now old. god he was amazing!! he is pretty cute still in ncis :)

[drmccoyfan909]

@thevampirefrog06 Wow...I agree with you COMPLETELY on EVERYTHING you said! Wow...

[Jerseybytes2]

@thevampirefrog06 he's still pretty hot for his age at ncis. i mean he's almost 78 now. and, as i said, he still looks pretty good.

[manyhappyreturnskara]

the music just makes him look even cooler. :D

[kitti0702]

Ok, I finally get my DVDs this week (just a couple more days!!!!!) - from which "affair" did you find the "tree" scene at 1:08?

[shannonsequitur]

I don't really understand the YouTube interface, so I can't promise that I haven't made a complete mess of attempting to respond to a comment, but I'm pretty sure the episode is called "The Deadly Toys Affair" and it's somewhere in season 2.

[sagilady52]

for all illya fans theres a treat in store if you watch the clip from the movie shattered image starring dmc and bo derek, in the first two mins illya actually screws a girl on a table, and hardly looks like hes breaking a sweat. what stamina enjoy

[1996azcpa]

All I can say is *squeeee*! Love ya Illya!

[Citydogz45]

damn he had a hot body back then

[MrsAriaAmour]

So cute! Such memories! On a whim, I found this and it takes me back to *gasp* over 40 years ago!?? Oooh man! He looks just as good 40+ years later and I look well, never mind!!! Thanks so much! This was a trip down Menory Lane!

[PrincessLadySerenity]

^_^ I love Illya! *Squees with joy* Although, I prefer his short hair days. (The fourth season has him looking like a sane 6th doctor who. -_- Even though I'm one of the few who seem to like colin, just not David McCallum looking like him.)

[ineendubh]

He's so lovely :) Fantastic vid - big thumbs up!

Also, The dog at 0.30 has evidently been taking hairstyling tips from David McCallum :D

[liviapenn001]

That was awesome. :D

[kitti0702]

Yep, it is the best thing on YouTube! Thanks so much, the video was a treat!

I'll always love Illya!!

[Elijahswildchild]

Oh lovely! Drowning in dribble *g*. Thanks for posting :o)

[vysila]

A total hoot. I loved it.

[retroactivity]

Pairing the Soul Bassa Nova from Austin Powers was truly inspired. Great montage; I couldn't stop cracking up!

[Orypeci]

Drool indeed. I wish that this was a serious study of the enduring cultural impact of 1960s television? IF the 60's had been like this all the time I would've payed more attention to it in class.

[Pavlowsdog]

*DROOL!* Omg, this is so funny, sexy, cool ... did I forgot something? Ah, yes, what is this piece of music called? I hear it so often and don´t know what it actually is.

[Serenaar]

Fabulous! I always preferred Illya to Napoleon Solo anyway...good video!!

[shallow59]

You can never have too much Illya! Thanks so much!

[mktsmith]

This is without a doubt the best thing I've ever seen on YouTube. Please give us more!! Another Illya Kuryakin fan.

[Toranut97]

Wow -- so many favorite moments, so much fun! Thanks and PLEASE stop being sorry!!!!

[west44cat]

Excellent! You made my day...
