I've recently gotten hooked on so-called "Euro-Spy" movies, i.e. cheap low budget 1960s spy flicks made to cash in on the James Bond craze, so I wrote up a quick crash-course blog about my experiences thus far.

^^ Heck yeah, the "Flint" flicks were great!

I'm still diggin' into the Eurospy flicks available on YouTube, watched this one last night:



It's basically "Dr. No" on a six pack budget (madman sabotaging America's space program from his secret lair) but it was probably the most fun Eurospy I've seen thus far.

Part II!

While waiting for the new James Bond movie to turn up at RedBox, I've kept myself busy watching another batch of 1960s "Eurospy" knockoffs...

Nice reviews especially regarding the Christmas dinner in the Connery household  :wink:

A question: why does this guy need a telescopic sight on his pistol?



Nice poster.
