  • Contender #2 Dahlia Lavi 1961 - The Return of Doctor Mabuse (with Lex Barker) not stricly a Eurospy, but hey, it's got Gerte Frobbe (Goldfinger himself), an FBI agent operating in Europe (so in reality he'd probably be CIA) and an evil masterm…

  • Nice to see your reviews of those French films @Torgeirtrap , I've always found French films hard to track down, unlike Italian films, which are all over Youtube. As to who is the "Queen of the pseudo-Bonds, I guess it depends on the criteria, sh…

  • Some Girls Do Richard Johnson returns as Bulldog Drummond and gives another impressively “Bond-esque” performance. Apparently true blue BD fans don’t like this very 1960s incarnation of the character, personally I don’t have much BD experience my…

  • Where The Bullets Fly Tom Adams returns for a second go-round as Charles Vine, but without his broom handle Mauser. This second edition is intended to be more of a spoof from the get go, I can tell this because half the actors are familiar fac…

  • I came across this last night when I was channel surfing It's from "Mean Girls", but don't let that put you off I'm not a fan of vibrato style singing either But I think this song certainly derives from JB musical cues and is rather good "Some…
  • Kinjite (Forbidden Subjects) This is a slice of vintage Bronson style action, kicking ass and taking names, perhaps his best effort of the late 1980s (which some will suggest is not saying much, but aficionados’ will take as a recommendation) …
  • Madame Sin Robert Wagner does a Eurospy Wikipedia says that “Wagner's friend and agent Albert Broccoli suggested that he audition to play James Bond, but he decided it was not right for him.” (Yeah right!) And “The following year, he pro…

  • Pre credit sequence, villains are up to something, a mysterious stranger appears, kicking arse and taking names. At the end of the sequence he enters a restaurant, hotel or airport, walks up to the maitre d, reception desk or ticketing counter and s…
