Viewing Notes

Watched this many years ago and knew I enjoyed it but had forgotten much of it except the baboon sidekick and it being James Bond spoof. This is so my thing as dumb as it is. But there are scenes and bits of dialogue that have me laughing.

“Boon, are you chewing gum?”

“What a world. What a world!”

So funny to me. Also love the end escape in hot air balloons. So ridiculous. They’re at the Devil Island lair yet clearly over some countryside during that finale. I need to revisit Order of the Black Eagle. Why wasn’t that included?

I think this would be a good one for B-fest if they did smart programming.

Glad this one was on sale during the halfway to Black Friday event. Tho I don’t understand why it’s a VSA title or what that even means.
