Out there somewhere is a film called "License to Kill" which is the first of a series of films surrounding this character, called Britain's second best spy, giving an indication that the writers really didn't put a lot of imagination into creating the idea for this film. The more convoluted the story, the more satisfying to them. A ridiculous spoof of the Bond films (one of many) is a messy plot concerning some sort of contraption that causes weightless nuclear flight, only enliven by a lot of action scenes add a bit of romance between its leads, Tom and Dawn Addams. It's very easy to snooze through this film because the plot is nonsensical, barely existent, although the location footage is well utilized and when they are not dealing with ridiculous plot details, there is a lot going on to keep the viewer amused visually. It's one of those films that plays like a cartoon, and that's not always a good thing.
The theme song is sung by someone who sounds like Dame Shirley Bassey and isn't nearly as memorable as any of the actual Bond themes. It's ironic that the name of the first film of the series would actually be used many years later as the title of a Bond movie, and something tells me that the creators of that did not even know that this series existed. The dialogue isn't anywhere near as sophisticated as what Sean Connery was getting to say, having taken a break in 1966 as the writers of that series spend time in coming up with something clever. Too bad the creators of this didn't do the same. I felt that I just watched a series of action scenes in fancy locations done between opening and closing credits without a story. This can be summed up as a complete waste of time.
