      Audience Member An amusing send-up of the Bond films, featuring Geoffrey Keen, who appeared in many of the Moore 007 films as well as The Living Daylights with Timothy Dalton. Nicky Henson plays Secret Agent Charles Bind, who must stop a determined evil doer from eliminating wealthy individuals. It tackles all the clichés of the Bond films with gusto, thanks to the direction of Lindsay Shonteff, who previously tackled similar material in the P.I. comedy, Clegg aka The Bullet Machine. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Fell in love. Now i know where are all the gags in bonds and Pulp Fiction came from ;) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review kevin w If James Bond could sneer at the spy movie phenom (see Roger Moore era Bond films) then let the floodgates open. This one features cheesier elements of the same (yes, cheesier cheese, like a Kraft macaroni commercial advert), like the hero preferring a pair of 357 Magnums as opposed to the usual Brit standard service automatic, and many scenes of him seltzering busom young ladies with, er, seltzer water (which they love). But its not as fun as it seems to think it is. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Regrettable James Bond spoof with some horrible and outdated sexism to boot. Unfortunately the jokes here are not nearly as accurate as Agent Bind's aim. A Cannon Films release where some of the actors appear to rise above the material they are provided. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Kind of a Comical Secret Agent Film, With a good plot. Plenty of Gags and Spoofs. Sure has drew my interest in to the Sixty's Spy Maina Films. I would add it to my collect. I was lucky to find it in the Grindhouse Experience Volume 2 Top 20 Films, Wish the would come out with Volume 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 and so on.
