User Reviews

Franco and Ciccio join the secret service

Agent 007 (George Hilton) is on a mission to capture the villain Goldfinger (Fernando Rey), but 007 is shot just a few minutes after the beginning. Now that the best agent can't continue the job, the two worst agents (Franco and Ciccio, of course) have to do the job, unwillingly.

This is a very early spoof on the Bond series, almost exclusively referring to "Goldfinger", by the two Sicilian comedians Franco and Ciccio. It has its funny moments, for example when the two don't know about the secret functions of 007's car and get into trouble with the traffic police, or when they have to use Goldfinger's brain control to stop a politician from declaring war at the United Nations conference. Yet most of the time it's rather silly, even if I consider that quite a bit might get lost in translation.
