I saw this film as an episode of the show, Mystery Science Theater 3000. During the years, the show has riffed many movies that were basically trying to capitalize on the success of the James Bond films and this one does so in the most blatant way possible. They got Sean's brother, Neil Connery, they got two of the Bond villains to play villains here and they got Moneypenny and M too! However, that being said, this is also the most enjoyable of the Bond ripoff films that they riffed. I am not saying it was great or anything, it is kind of all over the place, but at the same time they really keep things moving in this one so it never gets to the point where the agent is simply hanging around a beach house and flirting with some guy's niece, nor is the action so dull that it is outdone by the windmills of Holland and they never resort to cheap models to simulate a car chase. No, this film did a pretty good job of being a Bond film, while at the same time not being a James Bond film.The story has a deadly organization using a remote car to blow up a plane. On the plane, a man who had information about the organization's plan. A woman has this information locked in her mind and her plastic surgeon may have the key to retrieving this information. This man, is the younger brother of an awesome spy and he is soon recruited to help foil the evil organizations plans. He may not have a license to kill, but he has many skills that help him discover the whereabouts of the kidnapped woman, discover the deadly secret of the factory where only the blind may find a job and try to thwart the plans of one of the members of the organization that wants to seize all the power for himself! This made for a very good episode of MST3K, I generally like it when the film they riff is not completely horrid. I like to be able to get some enjoyment from the film itself and it actually makes it more amusing to hear the riffs. They obviously leave a lot of this film out of the episode, as at one point Neil references a archery contest that he had with the main villain that I did not see. Makes me want to see the whole film, though for the most part they leave in enough to know what is going on. It is just a film that is all over the place as one moment they are rescuing a girl, then an army convoy is being hijacked, then there is a battle on a yacht and then a raid on a castle! So, it is not a good movie, but it is hardly a bad movie. Definitely not the worst James Bond knockoff that I have seen. Neil certainly looks a lot like his more famous older brother and I am surprised he did not appear in more films. This film was done in Italy and they have always managed to mimic other films in the most blatant ways over the years and this film is no exception as it is the most blatant ripoff of the James Bond films there is other than the one that was done years later that actually starred Sean Connery and was essentially a James Bond film, but not part of the actual series, "Never Say Never Again". This one is actually more enjoyable than that film as that film was just so terribly paced and could not hold my interest. This one at least moves at a fast pace and never lingers to long on any one scene for long.

I Mean Come On People! It's One Of The Most Shameless Ripoffs In Film History! Although The Reason Why I Gave This Movie A 5 Was Because I Actually Got To See This Movie On A Sunday Afternoon When A TV Station First Started Out When I Was About 11 Years Old. Me My Brothers And A Few Of The Neighborhood Kids Sat And Started Watching The Movie And Heckled It Within In About Ten Minutes Of The Credits YOU Have To Make The Movie Enjoyable! If You Don't You'll Want Your 90 Minutes Back. When I Seen This Movie On MST3K Almost Ten Years Later I Called And Brother And EVERY Scene We Heckled And Riffed Back Then Was The Same Ones THEY Did! It Was Actually Kiiiiiiiinda Creepy. If You Think This Is Rip Off Of 007 It's SUPPOSED To Be! That's What Makes It So Funny! The Lines Are Some Of The Worst I've Seen In A Long Time But Hey To Each Their Own....Hypnotic Plastic Surgeon...Who Knew?

I remember so clearly how excited I was to see this movie into theaters were the first came out. When I remember most was seeing so many great familiar faces from the Sean Connery 007 series. Little did I know that composer Ennio Morricone would later become famous for the theme for "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly," but I did love the theme song "O.K. Conneryand," which incidentally is an alternate title for this film is. Many will tear this film apart, but I say no fair. It was meant to be for fun, and succeeds quite well there. True, the dubbing is awful, especially since I really wish I could have heard Sean's less famous brother speak for himself, but no matter. There are lots of great locations to see how the many attractive Italian girls, and if you don't take it too seriously (God knows how you could) it's a fun and entertaining way to pass the time. Hell, it beats the crap out of "Casino Royale."

OK Connery is probably the cheapest James Bond clone to date. What really makes it so bad is Neil Connery. He is Sean Connery light; 1/3 the acting ability. The rest of the cast isn't much better. The plot makes absolutely no sense whatsoever in places. The imagination-inspiring gadgets aren't. Avoid this one at all costs.
