A record-breaking new movie on Netflix has given the Isle of Man a shout-out!

Back in Action, which stars Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz, was released last week and had 50 million views in its first three days - breaking the previous opening weekend record for an English-language film on the streaming platform.

But the Isle of Man gets a mention when MI6 spies try to track down who owns an enormous mansion in the UK, only to discover it's registered to an Isle of Man business.

They even include a shot of the company certificate which forgets we have our own company register and says the Douglas firm is registered in England and Wales.
