So I'm channel surfing when all of a sudden I see Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell). I continue to watch, and more and more faces from 1960's Bond movies start to appear. It's basically a spy flick starring Sean's supporting cast. I can only imagine how pissed off Cubby Broccolli was.....(unless he had a cut of the action..........)

I'm checking it in youtube, it's very funny. Connery could very well play the young character that his brother played in "The Russia House"!

Must watch it again soon...
Yes...it's terrible...but strangely addictive )
He looks so much like Sean, but in a gentler sort of way. They could have offered him the Bond part in 1968. He was the right age, certainly looked the part, and even had more acting experience by then than Lazenby did.
I've read that Connery gave Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell the cold shoulder during the opening weeks of filming You Only Live Twice because they appeared in OK Connery.
You mean Sean didn't get along with his kid brother?
I think Connery thought that his brother was being exploited.
Despite what some people claim, this was his only acting role - some sites miscredit him as the villainous Bond in "Mad Mission 3: Our Man From Bond Street"; that ain't him.

Horrible! Absolutely abysmal in every respect! X-(

This movie is so bad, I hardly notice how good Daniella or anyone else looks!
I expect the other notable actors involved were easier to convince as( lets face it) none of them were exactly familiar faces on the cinema screen outside of the roll played in the respective Bond movie.
I can only imagine the anger and annoyance of Brocolli and Saltzman (not to mention Connery) when this got the green light, i mean you would of expected Lee and Maxwell to have been under contract NOT to be involved in any film that parodies or imitates the Bond movies?. The movie itself seemed in the same vein as Goldmember, The spy who shagged me, but worryingly it also seemed to be taking itself seriously at the same time, particularly Neil connery who was trying to give his real kid brother a run for his money.
So my curiosity now stemmed i can now try and forget this silly film but it's still two hours i ain't gettin back 8-)
I saw this abomination on a dreadful VHS transfer in the 80’s, every bit as bad as the film itself.
