The character of Bulldog Drummond pre-dates Ian Fleming's James Bond novels, but a cut-price Bond is a comparison which can't help but be drawn. Dr No would have been released a few years earlier and had Sean Connery as the epitome of sexy coolness. Richard Johnson as Hugh Drummond is fine, but a bit charmless.
As mentioned robot babes for the plot which is as silly as it sounds. This owes more to camp 60s films like Casino Royale and Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine than say Goldfinger. On the plus side the scenery and locations are exotic especially for the time, the action scenes little of them as there are (mainly speedboat chases and skydiving) not bad at all, also this one is less dark and probably more family friendly than some of the Bond films. To be honest it's barely worth a watch. Oh, and the Bluray from Network features an absolutely superb print.
