    • Trivia
      Final film and television credit of actress Imogen Hassall.
    • Goofs
      No effort has been made to conceal the fact that all scenes supposedly taking place in the US and Switzerland (and the "Atlantic island" at the end of the film) were actually shot in the UK. Most obvious are the landscapes and foliage, British accents, right-hand-drive UK-model vehicles with UK license plates (including the LHD Cadillac that No. 1 rides in), UK road markings and vehicles driving on the left side of the road.

    Bind, Charles Bind...
    UNDERCOVER LOVER (aka: THE MAN FROM S. E. X.) is the mostly unfunny sequel to the first, silly James Bond parody featuring Agent Charles Bind (Gareth Hunt). It's also an excuse to show a little -very little in fact- female nudity.

    This time, suave, superspy Bind must defeat the super-villainous Lucifer Orchid (Gary Hope). Of course, there's also a beautiful woman in need of Bind's assistance. Her name: "Lotta Muff".

    The karate fights are terrible, The dialogue matches the inane plot, and the "humor" lacks any actual mirth. Still, this is interesting due to its pointing toward the future AUSTIN POWERS films. It's also fun to see Deep Roy in an early role, dressed in black and wielding a bullwhip!

    To be honest, there were a few decent characters and I caught myself almost laughing a couple of times. Overall however, this is a rather dull affair. It's the sort of movie that our forefathers used to sneak off to see in those grungy theaters of old, in hopes of seeing something "naughty"...
