  • Nothing can give us more "Fleming" novels, he's dead AI will certainly give us more "James Bond" novels, as other human authors have already done, but whether they are any good or not will be for the audience to decide I'm sure AI will also be…

  • Nice discovery, thanks for sharing Hollywood could have made a WW2 bomber movie with Jimmy Stewart (pilot) Clark Gable (observer gunner) Charles Bronson (aerial gunner) Morgan Freeman (radar technician)
  • Somebody’s Stolen Our Russian Spy / OK Yevtushenko Tom Adams makes his third and final appearance as secret agent Charles Vine, which qualifies him for membership of a very select club of Eurospy actors who have played the same agent more than tw…

  • Contender #2 Dahlia Lavi 1961 - The Return of Doctor Mabuse (with Lex Barker) not stricly a Eurospy, but hey, it's got Gerte Frobbe (Goldfinger himself), an FBI agent operating in Europe (so in reality he'd probably be CIA) and an evil masterm…

  • Nice to see your reviews of those French films @Torgeirtrap , I've always found French films hard to track down, unlike Italian films, which are all over Youtube. As to who is the "Queen of the pseudo-Bonds", I guess it depends on the criteria, s…

  • Some Girls Do Richard Johnson returns as Bulldog Drummond and gives another impressively “Bond-esque” performance. Apparently true blue BD fans don’t like this very 1960s incarnation of the character, personally I don’t have much BD experience my…

  • Where The Bullets Fly Tom Adams returns for a second go-round as Charles Vine, but without his broom handle Mauser. This second edition is intended to be more of a spoof from the get go, I can tell this because half the actors are familiar fac…

  • Kinjite (Forbidden Subjects) This is a slice of vintage Bronson style action, kicking ass and taking names, perhaps his best effort of the late 1980s (which some will suggest is not saying much, but aficionados’ will take as a recommendation) …
  • Madame Sin Robert Wagner does a Eurospy Wikipedia says that “Wagner's friend and agent Albert Broccoli suggested that he audition to play James Bond, but he decided it was not right for him.” (Yeah right!) And “The following year, he pro…
