    And the best part is the ending! It all make sense when you see the ending :))

    I've heard of O.K. Connery but haven't yet plucked up the courage to watch it. Doesn't it have Adolfo Celi from Thunderball as the villain?

    In a similar vein in terms of desperate Bond cash-ins, the dire 1975 martial arts flick The Man From Hong Kong, featuring the talents of one Mr George Lazenby as a drug lord who also runs a kung fu training academy...

    Don’t agree - The Man From Hong Kong is a good kung fu movie :)
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    I actually saw Operation Kid Brother (as it was known in the States) when it was first released in a movie theater when I was 10 years old. It was a strange experience to say the least. For a 10 year old Bond fanatic there was just something so bizarre about that film. It was like some sort of nightmarish parallel pseudo Bond universe. No question Operation Kid Brother / OK Connery is one of most notorious examples of Italian exploitation/junk cinema from that era. The most ironic thing is I actually saw the film in the same 1st run movie palace that I had seen all the actual Bond films at.
