DanTheMan 2 Seeing the average rating for Operation Kid Brother, better known by its much better title O.K. Connery, made my heart sink, yet upon viewing found it better than its reputation suggests. It's certainly not going to win any awards, it's a painfully routine spy thriller, but it's such tremendous fun that if someone had told me this was the missing link between You Only Live Twice and On Her Majesty's Secret Service, I'd have believed them. The movie's trick casting is undoubtedly one of its most memorable aspects, casting Sean's younger brother Neil in the title role is genius although Neil clearly lacks any form of charisma which isn't helped by the fact he's dubbed by some bland American actor. You also get an unreasonable amount of other Bond alumni from Daniela Bianchi and Adolfo Celi to Anthony Dawson and even managed to bag Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell. The movie has a certain flair and skill in its production that makes it feel like an official Bond entry in places. The costumes are beautifully colourful and certainly imaginative in that way only 60s movies can and the score by Ennio Morricone feels like he just changed a few notes of Barry's main theme and called it a day but still kinda works. Going in with pretty much no expectations most definitely helped me with my viewing of O.K. Connery but if you can get past the movie's weaker aspects, it's a blast. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Plan 9 mixed with Austin Powers, and even worse than you could imagine. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review dustin d Operation Double 007, best known for being featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000, is an odd cynical cash grab notable only for "starring" Neil Connery as James Bond's hypnotist brother, Dr. Connery, and featuring Bernard Lee as M, Lois Maxwell as Miss Moneypenny, Adolfo Celi as Largo, Daniela Bianchi as the Bond girl and Anthony Dawson as Blofeld. Ennio Morricone also does the soundtrack two years before his iconic Good/Bad/Ugly theme and 50 years before he'd win an Academy Award. Solidly in the so-bad-it's-good genre, and obviously can't hold a candle to the official Bond films as it looks cheap and lacks any interesting stunts, and has only a couple good 'splosions. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Another MST3K viewing that was pretty amusing from start to finish, but I obviously can't speak to how this plays without robots poking fun at it. Rental. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member It doesn't compare to a James Bond film, but with MST3K, it's a fun watch. The characters are lackluster, the music is goofy, and the plot is full of holes. Neil is no Sean, but still makes his character interesting. Recommended for the more die-hard Bond fans, but more so for fans of easy to riff movies. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Beyond the stupidity of a typical one-joke movie. No reason this should have been made.
