Illya Kuryakin: International Man of Mystery

Would anyone believe me if I said that this was a serious study of the enduring cultural impact of 1960s television? Yeah, I thought not, because it's more accurately a minute and a half of concentrated fanservice.

And yes, that was Nancy Sinatra. Dear God.

Music: Quincy Jones - Soul Bossa Nova

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

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!

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.

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.

[Citydogz45]

damn he had a hot body back then

[aprilthrusday]

@ickiepooo i want one too... i'm so jealous

[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.

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........

[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.

[shithappens17]
