Viewing Notes
This plays out more like a spoof of spy movies but it’s fun enough in its own right to warrant watching. I love Boon the baboon but I still can’t tell you why he’s in the film. The villain’s secret island lair is pretty fun. I love elaborately designed sets that are well done and yet are still obviously sets (think Hammer films in particular).
This would be a fun movie night movie. I wonder if VSA will release the sequel to this, THE ORDER OF THE BLACK EAGLE, at some point in the future.
Also, this is yet another movie I had no recollection of watching before.
