Storyline

The evil crime syndicate Thanatos is bent on taking over the world, using a magnetic wave generator that will cause all metal-based machinery to grind to a halt. However, the well-known British secret agent normally assigned to such tasks isn't available, so they engage his civilian brother, Neil, to help. Neil, played by Neil Connery, is a world-class plastic surgeon, hypnotist, and lip-reader, which turn out to be precisely the skills required for thwarting Thanatos.

User Reviews

For true fans, better than the most recent Bond movies.

Face it, Sean Connery's brother as a hypnotic plastic surgeon is no less ludicrous than Denise Richards as a nuclear scientist. This completely blatant rip-off of the 007 series is a must for fans of bad flicks and Bond. It's also funnier than the last "Austin Powers" movie, especially the scenes involving the bad guys plotting "Operation Blackmail" which nearly mirror some of the Dr. Evil goings-on from the first Austin Powers. With bad martial arts, a rock combo, groovy chicks, cool Ennio Morricone score, it's sort of "Our Man Flint" or a Matt Helm flick before those were even made. Endless references to Bond and the Bond flicks will make this very entertaining to fans. Hard to find on video, but a copy did come out in 1996 with a nice transfer (letterboxed credits, then pan-and-scan)
