Silly spy caper and the last in what was an erratic franchise. Richard Johnson plays Hugh ’Bulldog’ Drummond, an upmarket Bond looking well past his sell-by date. A Dr Evil is killing the scientists working on ‘infra-sound’ - low frequency waves that can ‘kill life very quickly”. So if you were wondering where dub came from…
The assassins turned out to be killer robots, extremely well disguised as bathing suit babes. This is entirely realistic and on no account should their presence be interpreted as a distraction from the totally lame story. Daliah Lavi is there amongst the cyborgs and lower down the order there’s a certain Joanna Lumley credited as ‘Robot on a suicide mission’. The location work and overall production is first class, but it’s still hard to believe that this was made four years after the still-cool Ipcress file.
