Where the Bullets Fly (1966)


Directed by John Gilling
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(VHS, Magnetic Video Corporation)

Spoof of James Bond and the secret agent genre has some good moments, but it's very British and very sixties. Tom Adams is Agent Vine, who seduces every woman he meets and has an arsenal of gadgets with which to fight the enemy. The story revolves around a fictitious metal called spurium, a necessary ingredient for nuclear power. Vine is kidnapped and put in a chamber where the floor and walls are electrified. In another scene, he chases someone down the sewers of London by filling it with laughing gas and following the laughter. There are numerous shoot outs and explosions, mostly in or around airplanes, since much of the action involves the Royal Air Force.
