rodrig58 I like Klaus Kinski, very much, but not in this, he has a role (actually double small role) absolutely stupid. The whole film is stupid. Frankie Avalon, George Nader and Shirley Eaton can't act, they never did. Wilfrid Hyde-White is probably the most annoying person in movies ever. The whole story is a big nonsense, everything is stupid, nothing attractive or enjoyable in this movie.
Eric Stevenson I was looking up this movie and noticed that it has yet to be released on a single format on video. I was always wondering how people managed to see such a rare film. Then again, how did the cast of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" stumble upon this? Was the film just preserved somewhere? I don't think this was an awful film. I actually enjoyed the fighting at the end. Of course, it's still a bad movie. It's mostly because it's just plain boring. It wasn't until near the end that I understood why a lot of people considered this a James Bond wannabe.The main character actually did get a few amusing lines in. It's just nothing too memorable. The atmosphere isn't good, but not the worst. There's some pretty gaudy details here that don't help. It didn't really have anything that stupid about it. I guess it wasn't a good movie to look at for the most part. There aren't any actors or actresses that I recognize. At least we got to see a few explosions in this. Of course, that's just near the end and it isn't worth the whole movie. I thought there was a little effort put into it. **
moonspinner55 An anti-male syndicate of beautiful female assassins, headquartered near Hong Kong and led by the no-nonsense, whip-wielding Sumuru, plots international domination by ridding the world of its male leaders; two wisecracking American agents use their masculine charms to save mankind. British production, distributed stateside by AIP, is a fairly tepid adventure with 'humorous' asides. There are some interesting ideas (any woman who betrays Sumuru by falling in love with a man is automatically targeted for extermination), but not enough imagination or excitement. Shirley Eaton is impressive in the title role, and her army is certainly attractive, but puerile George Nader and Frankie Avalon are dead weights on the action. Eaton played Sumuru again in 1969's "The Girl From Rio". *1/2 from ****
bkoganbing Playing the lead role as Su-Muru is that golden Bond girl Shirley Eaton from Goldfinger. Shirley is a female version of Fu Manchu and I can just hear Great Britain's man in the east Nayland Smith referring to her as an Oriental She Devil.Wilfrid Hyde-White of British Intelligence has handed off the problem of Su-Muru and her thousands of bikini clad agents over to our CIA and its agents George Nader and Frankie Avalon. Like Fu Manchu her ambition is to rule the world. Can't say the girl doesn't have high goals.For Nader he was approaching a nadir of his career. He was one of those before Stonewall tragedies of a gay man who was getting very tired of living a double life. As for Avalon the Beach movies were coming to a halt and a new music scene took over with that quartet from Great Britain in the latter part of the Sixties. You take what work you can get.The comedy here falls embarrassingly flat and the players look like they're waiting for their checks to clear. Hope they did.
