Secret Agent Boring Dragon

Secret Agent Super Dragon (1966) is the worst spy rip off movie I have ever seen. Somebody killed Super Dragon's friend so this leads to some kind of drug that kills or something. I could not follow the plot. Let's not even discuss the bad audio synchronization, the poor film quality, the dismal editing, the bad acting...ugh...it's so bad! I didn't like the hero's voice at all either.

Not only does the villain do nothing, the hero is the most annoying character I have ever seen! Why did he need that guy that was in prison, also?? The women were quite beautiful. It's easy to have that in films though. Of course, in 1966, this was a popular time for spy cinema. Every movie company wanted to produce another "bond-like" clone to sell to bond hungry audiences. Thankfully, this was the last and only Super Dragon. As far as I know....
